Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing 12ga Shotgun 26" Semi-Auto Bottom

The Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing 12ga semi-auto shotgun is a gas-operated waterfowl hunter's workhorse, built to handle serious marsh and field conditions. This 26-inch shotgun combines the proven reliability of the original Maxus platform with a suite of comfort and handling upgrades designed specifically for waterfowlers who demand performance in cold, wet, punishing environments. Whether you're working decoys in a blind or taking passing shots, the Maxus II Wicked Wing delivers the speed, pointability, and shot-to-shot consistency that separate a good day from a great one.

The Power Drive Gas System is tuned across the ammunition spectrum, meaning it cycles light loads and heavy 3½-inch magnums with equal reliability while keeping recoil management in check. The Lightning Trigger—fastest lock time in its class—pairs with a ramped trigger guard for intuitive, fast reloads. New oversized bolt release and bolt handle make operation smoother in gloved conditions, and the redesigned stock and forearm now feature rubber overmolding that grips reliably even when wet or muddy. A screw-on magazine cap opens the door to competition-style magazine extensions if you ever want to go that route.

Durability is baked in: Cerakote Burnt Bronze finish on the receiver and barrel outperforms traditional bluing, while a nickel-Teflon coating on the bolt, bolt slide, shell carrier, and trigger group adds corrosion resistance and lubricity. The chrome chamber and bore further protect against the elements. The new SoftFlex cheek pad and 1½-inch Inflex Recoil Pad work together to absorb punishment from heavy loads, and the adjustable composite stock can be trimmed up to ¾-inch and shimmed for cast and length of pull to fit your frame. Mossy Oak Bottomland camo finish on the stock blends seamlessly in marsh and timber hunting environments.

You get three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) and an ABS hard case, so you're ready to hunt out of the box. Fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead make target acquisition quick and positive in low light.
