Power Drive Gas System – Why it matters: Self-cleaning, self-regulating piston reduces felt recoil by up to 30% compared to fixed-gas designs, so you stay on target faster for follow-up shots.
26″ Vent-Rib Barrel with Invector-DS Chokes – Why it matters: The 26” length swings quick in tight cover, and the Invector-DS system gives you consistent patterns with steel or lead shot.
Shim-Adjustable Stock – Why it matters: Drop, cast, and length of pull are adjustable without a gunsmith, letting you dial in fit for a natural point of aim.
Nickel-Plated, Scroll-Engraved Receiver – Why it matters: Corrosion-resistant finish with hand-cut scrollwork adds durability and a premium look that holds value over time.
Infinity Trigger – Why it matters: A crisp, creep-free break at 3.5 lbs average pull weight improves accuracy on moving targets.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is for the upland hunter or sporting clays shooter who wants a semi-auto that runs dirty and looks clean. It fits shooters who value adjustable fit, low recoil, and a gas system that handles mixed loads without tuning. If you shoot 100+ rounds per session and need a gun that won’t choke on light target loads, the Maxus II delivers.
Pros / Cons
Pro: Gas system cycles 1-ounce target loads reliably – verified with 10 different brands.
Con: The maple stock is beautiful but shows dings more readily than synthetic or oil-finished walnut; use a soft case for transport.
