I have a Maxus and shot doves all season with it. I thought I liked this gun until I started working up some load/choke combos for turkeys. Now I love this gun!!! Browning Maxus, 12 ga., 3.5", Puregold .670, Hevi 13 2 1/4 oz. #7's. 279 in 10" circle, lots around the edge of that, at a measured 40 yards. I shoot at a turkey head and neck 'cause it's fun and is a good POA and got 65 pellets in just the head!
