Browning Maxus vs. Silver Hunter

[adam_p]

I know this is not the answer to the question you asked, but I feel compelled to give some friendly advice. From a guy that admittedly has a problem and owns over 20 shotguns, please consider a Benelli...even if its used.

My sons and I shoot a lot, and the only shotguns we own that have never jammed...ever...after thousands and thousands of rounds are the Benelli's.

Browning does not make a bad firearm so if your mind is set, both the Maxxus and the Silver Hunter are great shotguns. But the third empty hull from your buddy's Benelli will hit the ground/water before you fire the second round...just saying.

That is complete marketing bs.

I have the Maxus. Last shotgun I'll ever need. It is light, great action, and will shoulder perfect almost every time.

I also have a Beretta 390 that I've been told is the best $600 autoloader. Hasn't let me down, and with the matte black and synthetic stock, I can do anything with it and not be worried.

^^^^ I could not agree more if I said it myself. Me and my dad both shoot benellis for this exact reason. I just figured he was set on Brownings.

I disagree on the benelli's. My cousin has one and it doesn't hold a candle to my Maxus. He even admitted it after shooting mine. The Maxus is under 7 lbs and has the least felt recoil out of most factory autoloaders on the market.

If you're looking for speed the winchester sx3 can't be beat in speed.

Only the wood stocks are under 7lbs. If you go with synthetic stock they are all 7 or over. For the 12ga models


All of the new guns being produced from the 3 B's beretta benelli and browning are all great guns.

The best thing to do is shoot some of each brand and see what you like better.
