crowtec,
how do you like that Maxus? I was thinking of getting one.

Skip · Guru

HNcrow: I am sure Crowtec will respond too, but I have used a Maxus now for over a year. With gas operation, 5 shots and the "quick load" feature only Browning has, I consider the Maxus..the finest crow gun available today. There are many fine guns.. but for crows, the Max is the max. smile

Thanks Skip, maybe I will go pick one up today.

Crowtec · Veteran Member

NHCrow, I really like my Browning Maxus...I have had zero problems with it...The Max is a blend of the best features of the Browning A5 ( speed load and magazine cut off )...the Browning Golds gas system which has been improved in the Max...Winchesters Super X1 bolt design...plus all the after market performance enhancements incorporated in the Max from the factory...Back-bored to .742 with lengthened forcing cone...a competition trigger with the fastest lock time on the market today...Brownings dura-touch coating is great...you would have to shoot the Max to get a sense of what I mean when I say the recoil impulse is like no other shotgun that I have ever fired in that muzzle rise is minimal after firing...this is a benefit in regards to quick flow-up shots...it is a very light and quick handling shotgun with every stock adjustment you could ask for...Crowtec

A buddy was showing me his new max the other day. He said it had a u shaped hydraulic recoil system of some sort in the stock. Said it feels like someone is pulling it away form you when it is fired and felt recoil is minimal.

Good to know... I will show the old man this thread.

My father purchased a Benelli Vinci a couple months ago and it's already on it's way back to the factory... the safety is messed up, it keeps locking the trigger and the only way to get it unstuck it to disassemble the trigger mechanism...

and I have recently had problems with my super black eagle II - I have learned it's called the "benelli click".

My Benelli will occasionaly do that if very dirty. I mean dirty to the point of the bolt lagging and not seating properly. I dont always clean as I should. I am getting better about that since I started crow hunting. smile

The finest crow guns should give something to look at and enjoy when they are not flying. biggrin

nhc: I bet your pardon kind sir, but the "Max" is a joy to behold between actions because you know what it will do when the action arrives! While your double is quite easy on the eyes and a joy I am sure, the joy of the "Max" is undeniable when call upon to engage multiple targets in quick succession.. replete with the quick pointing, fine balance and function inherent in a fine single barrelled crow tool.

I apologize, I stand corrected, I have no doubt that it is the finest mass produced, plain steel and plastic shotgun money can buy, it should appreciate in value in leaps and bounds as the years go by as well. wink

Bob · Guru

I very much doubt the crows care if they are shot with a double, pump or autoloader.

What about the 1897 Winchester pump, it's still in service and so is the model 12 Winchester pump.

nhc: Very well said... all true I suspect. The value of the Max..is what it does today. I have other guns for posterity

Skip, glad to see a sense a humor on the site.

Crows may not care about the gun but the German army sure did. They tried to have the Winny '97 banned as an inhumane weapon of war when being used with buckshot and slam fired to clear the trenches.

Even more interesting is the Win '97 was used by soldiers who were experienced trap shooters (skeet had not been invented) who were positioned to be able to shoot hand thrown german grenades in the air and deflect them so they did not land in the US trenches. Shooting incoming grenades seems like a real huge incentive to not want to hear the scorekeeper call "Lost" LOL!!!!

It's interesting seeing differen't views about shotguns for hunting. Some of us just want a firearm that is strictly utilitarian, don't care how it looks as long as it works without problems. While others want good looks, good lines, nice wood and maybe a little history to the firearm. Some want both or as close to both as one might hope to get.

Skip has some very nice wood on one of his Browning Gold model shotguns, he had it custom stocked about 8 years ago, damn nice looking popper.

Some folks buy high grade shotguns like some people buy fine art, they want it to appreciate over time and still get to use it instead of hanging it on the wall or keeping it in a safe.

Some folks could care less about fine guns even if they can afford them.

I like both but lean more toward utilitarian during the past 5 years ever since I went to all 12 gauge and factory ammo. This is only for crows only.

I still like to hunt quail over a nice set of Brits and use my pigeon grade model 12 20 gauge bored WS-1.

I take it you shoot an A5. Always wanted one. Come a hair of buying one several years ago. Went to give the old boy the money and he had sold it. It was a belgun made magnum. A day late but not a dollar short.

shaddart · Guru

I, like Nh & 10ga have a special place in my heart for sxs's, but do shoot my 870 quite alot especially in the wet weather. Theres just something about a double (sxs) that just feels right. just my 2 cents.

That is a great way of describing your efforts.
I'm 60 this year and I us a gun that is older than me, my Father's 1940s vintage Browning A5 Mrg by Remington in the war. Goes bang everytime. Just wish I hit everytime it went bang.
