The maxus is basically a upscale version of the sx4. Their internals are near identical. Considering they’re both browning guns

I have a Maxus II and really like it! (Although sometimes not reliable. Maybe once in 60 to 80 shots doesn't cycle) When I went searching for the perfect gun for me I found that it's impossible to find any real hunting/sporting shotguns in the store. Most have to be ordered outright. Which really stinks when trying to find what feels good, looks, and hands on comfort. I went to over a dozen places to look and only one had a hunting/sporting shotgun. Everything else was either having to order it or they had a ton of Military style shotguns. So your channel is super helpful for those that can't get hands on shopping. Thanks for getting this going.

@@cajunoutfitters5621having shot both no it would not obviously win on the value comparison. It would be exactly the same as this Maxus vs SX4. The Affinity has most of the same features as the SBE. I actually believe it’s the highest value semi auto on the market. For 1/2 the price of an SBE 3 all you really miss out on is the comfortech stock, mid bead, and 2 chokes. Maybe some refinement. They have the same bolt design, same reliability, similar ergonomics. Affinity has milled loading port, oversized controls, raised rib just like the SBE 3. It also has more drop spacers to customize a better fit. It is a ton of value for 1/2 the price. I bet using this videos metric it would smoke the SBE 3.

I'll comment before I even watch the video: I have two of each. A Maxus II slug gun with cantilever rail, and 26" vent rib model (both 12 gauge). And an SX4 Universal Hunter 12 gauge and a Waterfowl model in 20 gauge. Will say that of you can live without the speed load feature and magazine cutoff on the Maxus II, then the SX4 is the way to go. It's 90% of the gun for 3/5ths the price. ^^^ Edit: Now that I watched your video, I agree 100%.

I've found a good way to test recoil is to slide the trigger hand forward so the finger next to trigger finger contacts the back of the trigger guard. When fired the trigger guard will contact the second finger giving a precise sensation. Also in all shotgun reviews I would enjoy showing the ease of manually unloading the shotgun. Many times when shotgun hunting it's necessary to manual unload.

I'm a Browning guy, but I could not justify the extra $$$ for the Browning. Until I needed a 3/8th" thick pad on the comb to get the SX4 shooting close to where I'm looking. Haven't shot a Maxis II, but own two Browning Golds. They both shoot dead on out of the box. Would love some adjustment to raise the comb and eliminate the pad, which is a total pain.

Sadly the "TFL24" discount code doesn't work on the SX4 with Reeds. Otherwise I was going to buy one through them this morning. The "RINGS10" 10% discount that they show on GB doesn't work on the SX4 waterfowl either. Without that discount they are the same price as my local shop, so I'll support local. It sounds like the cycling issue is a 3.5" chamber issue that potentially comes back to the carrier rubbing/catching on the release button.

I'm typically a tactical shotgun guy. I have the 1301, A300 Ultima Patrol, 940 Pro Tac, M3000, and a couple of the Turkish cheapo's to play with. I'm wanting to get started playing in the trap game or similar with a possible move to some hunting in the future. I was considering the A300/A400 series since I'm a bit of a Beretta fanboy, but I'm thinking I'll pick up the SX4 at the price i'm seeing them. My question is - I see such a HUGE selection of SX4 models that I'm a little lost on what I'd want. I don't think I really care about a factory camo style. I tend to just rattle can my stuff anyways. But what would you recommend for something like that? starting in trap and maybe hunting? I see SX4 standard, waterfowl, universal, hybrid...26"? 28"? I'm a little lost. I don't think I need a 3.5" chamber. Thanks man. Loving your videos!

Then I bought a new beretta a400 xtreme plus in 20ga and it was defective out of the box. Had to be replaced as per beretta. I never have issues with the browning or Winchester products.
