Shotguns Descriptions
Browning Maxus Sporting
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.
Fabarm Axis 12 Field Elite
The gun was first launched as a 20 bore about 3 years ago - the 12 bores are relatively new. The action, underneath the radical exterior, is typically Gardonne. It has split hinge pins but combines them with Browning style locking (like many Italian guns other than Beretta, Perazzi and Gamba). This system means the action is a little deeper - arguably more of an issue in 12 than a 20 (yet the test 12 looks pretty svelte and shows what may be accomplished with a little styling). The action design offers benefits too. It is very strong with lots of bearing surface. Notably, it allows for 3” chambers and high pressure proofing at 1630 BAR (which may become the new industry standard).
