The Browning Maxus is a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun with a 28-inch barrel, a 3.5-inch chamber and a 14.43-inch length of pull, finished in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass camo. The listing is filed as used, while the supplier's own text calls the gun new under UPC 023614740797.

The 3.5-inch chamber takes the heaviest 12 gauge magnum loads along with lighter shells, and the camo finish is meant for a gun that gets used in the open rather than kept for the range. Montana FWP allows shotguns loaded with slugs or 0/00 buckshot for game animals, which makes a 28-inch semi-auto a lawful option in the weapons restriction areas that bar rifles, and the 14.43-inch length of pull fits an average adult without a stock change. Wear 400 square inches of hunter orange above the waist when the general season opens Oct. 24, and ask the dealer to confirm the gun's condition in hand, since the listing and the supplier text do not agree.
