Shotguns Descriptions
Browning Maxus Hunter
MAXIMUM RELIABILITY. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. Real-world reliability is the most important feature any manufacturer can build into a firearm. Thats why it was the first priority when we set about developing the Browning Maxus. The Power Drive Gas System is designed to perform under harsh hunting and shooting conditions with a wide array of loads. But reliability isnt the whole story. The Maxus delivers 18% less felt recoil for greater comfort, 44% less muzzle jump for more accurate follow-up shots, 19% faster bolt speed and 24% faster locktime than the nearest competitor. Unequalled reliability and features, all found in the finest, most reliable gas-operated autoloader ever to swing on a bird.
Weatherby SA-08 Deluxe 28 Gauge
The SA-08 carries a “sporter-style” soft rubber pad with a slick plastic insert at the heel for a snag-free mount. With the very mild recoil of the 28, a pad is more a luxury than a necessity. The buttstock and fore-end are of plain hand-checkered walnut. The Turkish shotgun industry still does some things the old-fashioned way. When it comes to checkering, for instance, it is hand-cut, unlike that in most of the industry, which is laser-cut. It appears to be about 22 lines to the inch, and while the diamonds are not needle-pointed, they afford a good firm grip, which is what it’s supposed to do. To Weatherby’s advantage is the inclusion of several shims to adjust the stock for drop and cast. While not a professionally fitted stock, the owner can adjust the stock to best fit himself with the shims, and that’s a real advantage for a field gun where shots are often quick, and a well-fitting gun is the difference between fried quail for breakfast and Cheerios.
