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.

James Purdey & Sons Over & Under Gun

Available with double triggers and automatic safety catch, or with 3" magnum chamber. Actions are available in either conventional square bar, round bar or ultra round bar shape. Stock comes in straight, semi or full pistol grip. The Purdey side by side action patented in 1880 is still made now with only very minor changes. A back action interceptor seer lock. Built on the Woodward patent acquired by Purdey in 1949. The mechanism has undergone little change since then."All Purdey barrels, both SxS and O/U, are of chopper lump construction.Each individual tube is hand filed and then "struck up" using striking files. This gives the tube the correct Purdey profile with wall thickness tollerance of .001". Purdey Slakum finish is an oil finish, unique to Purdeys and is made up in house from linseed oil, beeswax and driers. Stock is made of Turkish walnut.
