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.

Kimber Marias

Depending upon your age the name "Kimber" will conjure up two very different images. For older guys like me, a very classy bolt-action .22 springs to mind, but for most, the mind picture is one of a 1911. At one time Kimber created a market for the upscale .22 and today they deserve much of the credit for the phenomenon we call the 1911. But they've also brought us a couple of shotguns definitely upscale and strongly reminiscent of British game guns of days long gone by. Awhile back we told you about a classy little side-by-side 20 gauge. Now there's an over/under they call the Marias and it will knock your socks off. The name comes from a pass in Glacier National Park near Kalipsell, Montana, a major feature on Lewis and Clark's path to the Pacific. Both guns are made in Turkey in the town of Huglu with a tradition very much like the guilds of Europe going all the way back to the 16th century. The guns are built in a small factory with a sign saying "Hatfield Gun Co" and a working relationship exists between Kimber and Hatfield.
