Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Anybody got a Maxus?

LGS has a slightly used camo Maxus in 12ga, 3-1/2" chamber for $700. Seems like quite a good buy to me, its a hole that exists in my gun safe at the moment. Are the Maxus shotguns any good?

700 is a steal. If it were near me it would be bought immediately.

Damn BK you thinking about snow geese allready?

Steal.

SX3 on steroids.

$700 ?? ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL daaaaaaaaaay !!!

$700 is a no brainer, I don't need it but would buy it for that

Thanks that is what I think too. Ha no snow geese for me but I might go shoot a black goose sometime

I did the deal, thanks all.

What choke tubes do people like in these? I'll probably use it on turkeys and geese.

Is that the Invector DS system or still Invector +?

Maxus uses the Invector Plus. The A5 uses the Invector DS.

If you're going to use it for turkeys, there are lots of tubes out that will work well. Pattern a number of loads with the full choke that comes with the gun. It will give you benchmark for comparisons.

I've used the Browning 12 Gauge Invector-Plus Midas Grade extra full in my Maxus II and it patterns lead turkey loads very well:

I also have a couple of Carlsons chokes, for buckshot and for Winchester Longbeard XR rounds. This choke patterns Longbeard XR really well:

I've tried Kicks Gobblin' Thunder in it as well and they pattern well:

In my Invector + barrel I have found an original Star Dot and a Hastings .685 work pretty good, maybe too good with Longbeards.

What barrel length is this Maxus?

I think its 28, seems quite long. Thanks for the tips.

For turkeys, an Indian Creek BDS tube and a 1200 fps Winchester Longbeard XR shell .......... 4, 5 or 6 shot. Take your pick.
