Thoughts are its a nice gun but I don't like the quick release of the forearm. I feel it slides about 1/8 of an inch or so. I'd rather turn the nut and get it right tight.

Can't go wrong with the maxus though or any of the other popular semis today.

If your going with 3.5" chambers is the shotgun going to be waterfowl only, if an all around shotgun I'd take 3" chambers.

This past fall I hunted a couple of times with a fellow who had one and had done some extensive testing with it for Browning. He had all good things to say about it. The couple times I handled it, I thought it felt very light for weighing in at just under 7 pounds. It actually felt like a feather compared to my 8 ¼ pound 11-87. The recoil on it was amazingly light too. Not that it’s a safe thing to do but you could easily fire three 3-1/2” shells one handed. The feature where it auto loads the first shell into the chamber for you was pretty slick. With the price of the Maxus being much lower than the popular Xtrema’s, I would hands down buy it.
