BROWNING MAXUS II 12GA 3.5″ – 28″ MO-SHADOW GRASS HABITAT

Waterfowl and upland hunters across the region—from Pittsburg to the coast—rely on semi-auto shotguns that cycle reliably in wet conditions and deliver consistent patterns. The Browning Maxus II combines proven gas-operated mechanics with a 3.5" chamber and factory choke system. Before purchasing any firearm in California, familiarize yourself with state requirements by reviewing California firearm laws and our transfer process.

Why this gas-operated 12-gauge performs

The Maxus II uses a tried-and-tested inertia-driven system that handles 3.5" loads without excessive recoil. The fiber optic front sight aids target acquisition in variable light, while included chokes—Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder—let you adjust patterns for different distances and game. The 28" barrel balances maneuverability with shot velocity. For details on your purchase and California requirements, visit our California gun-buyer FAQ.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Maxus II handle 2.75" shells or only 3" and 3.5"?

The Maxus II is rated for 2.75", 3", and 3.5" shells. Most hunters load 3" or 3.5" for waterfowl and upland birds, but standard 2.75" target loads work fine in this shotgun.

What is the factory choke tube configuration?

This model includes three choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. These cover most hunting scenarios from 25 yards to 50+ yards depending on load and game.

What do I need to bring for DROS in California?

Bring a valid California driver's license or ID card, proof of residency, your Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC), and payment for the firearm and transfer fees. TacticCAL is your FFL dealer San Jose in the Bay Area.
