Maxus.... Invector plus. Overborded. For TSS, go .685 to .696

Winchester SX3 also over-bored barrel and is a sweet shooting gun.

Handle both of them and you will know which to pick. They are both excellent guns.

For turkey only I would go with SX3 over Maxus.  Same Invector plus barrel and save ya some $$ for buying TSS. 
As others have mentioned .680 to .696 depending on shot size and what pattern you are looking for.

The maxus universal is a great gun and patterns great, but it is tapped for a proprietary scope rail that is made for a scope only.   The use of a red dot like a fastfire necessitates altering the scope base. The rib is an odd design that prevents mounting most aftermarket sights. The gun is ill designed as a turkey gun unless you use bead only, which is perfectly fine btw.

The Remington v3 is tapped for a picatinny rail. The sx3 is a fine choice as well as is the Versamax and are tapped also. The sbe2 is a great choice and is tapped as well.

Both the maxus and sbe2 feel great to me. I bought my maxus for turkey but red dot mounting options led me back to my sbe2 and that is my primary turkey gun now.

If I was buying an all around gun for turkey and predators and ducks I would probably get a v3 or sx3  if price was an issue, if not then I would get an sbe2

Maybe I can get the eotech 512 to mount onto the browning base. I'll take it to a gunsmith to have worked I guess

sx3 or sx4 is poor mans browning. :icon_thumright:  Now if I was going browning I would go A5.

Any machinist can modify a standard picatinny rail to align with Browning's hole spacing.  I'd modify the rail before I started drilling additional holes in the maxus receiver. With that being said the sx3 line is a workhorse. I've seen them in action.

That is not even a close comparison.  Buy the SBEII.
