Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing 12ga Shotgun 28" Semi-Auto Bottom

The Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing 12ga semi-auto shotgun is a gas-operated workhorse built for serious waterfowl hunters. The 28-inch barrel delivers that sweet balance of sight picture and swing speed you want when ducks and geese are working your spread. This isn't your grandfather's autoloader—Browning engineered the Maxus II to be one of the most reliable gas guns on the market, period, and then added real comfort upgrades that make all-day hunting less taxing on your shoulder.

What sets the Wicked Wing apart is the attention to detail in every component. The receiver and barrel both wear a Cerakote Burnt Bronze finish that shrugs off weather far better than traditional bluing ever could. The composite stock comes in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo and features a new SoftFlex cheek pad paired with an Inflex Recoil Pad—together they absorb the punch of 3.5-inch magnum loads so you can stay in the gun longer without flinching. Rubber overmolding on the stock and forearm keeps your grip secure even when conditions are wet and messy. The stock itself is adjustable (shimmed for cast and drop, and trimmable up to 3/4-inch), so it'll fit a wider range of shooters without compromise.

Under the hood, the Power Drive Gas System has been tuned for reliability across the entire ammunition spectrum while keeping recoil in check. The Lightning Trigger offers the fastest lock time in its class. Nickel-Teflon coating on the bolt and carrier adds slickness and corrosion resistance, while the chrome chamber and bore handle season after season of heavy use. New oversized bolt release and bolt handle make reloading faster and more intuitive. Perhaps most practical: the screw-on magazine cap means you can add extensions for competition or backup ammo without permanent modification.

The Maxus II Wicked Wing ships with three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) and a fiber-optic front sight with ivory mid-bead for quick target acquisition in low light. An ABS hard case keeps everything protected in transit and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing suitable for all types of waterfowl hunting?

Yes. The gun is purpose-built for duck and goose hunting. The 28-inch barrel balances swing speed with sight picture, the gas system handles the full spectrum of ammunition reliably, and the included Goose Band choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) cover everything from tight shots over decoys to longer passing birds. The Burnt Bronze Cerakote and Mossy Oak Bottomland camo blend naturally into marsh and field environments.

Can the stock be adjusted to fit different body types?

Yes. The composite stock is shim-adjustable for cast, drop, and length of pull. It can also be trimmed up to 3/4-inch, allowing you to dial in a fit across a wider range of shooters. This makes it practical for families or clubs where different people will shoulder the gun.

What ammunition does the Maxus II Wicked Wing handle?

The Power Drive Gas System is tuned for reliability across the entire ammunition spectrum, including 3.5-inch magnum loads commonly used for goose hunting. The SoftFlex cheek pad and Inflex Recoil Pad are specifically designed to mitigate the recoil from magnum rounds so you can shoot all day comfortably.

What choke tubes are included, and can I use different ones?

Three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes are included: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. The gun accepts Invector-Plus tubes, so you can swap these or add others to match your hunting conditions or transition to clay shooting if you choose.

Does the magazine cap come with an extension, and can I install one?

The screw-on magazine cap is included, but no extension tube ships with the gun. The screw-on design allows you to add a magazine extension later if you want extra capacity for competition or backup ammo—a feature Browning added based on feedback from their Pro Staff and end users.
