Hear! Hear!

well said

I would quite agree myself.

Not everyone buying a Ferrari drives it like Leclerc, it’s just nice to have nice things

@@tgsoutdoors correct 👍

It was an awesome little gun!

The M2 in its posh ‘real’ format with comfort eh etc would have been the real winner!

It’s addictive right?

@@tgsoutdoors Was my first time too, I feel like I've broken my Hols virginity....is that wrong???

It’s just the beginning of the end Stuart - your life will never be the same

Big Mike did mention it jammed once at the end and with the amount of dirt it I’m not surprised

The other guy 😂 it’s fine I get it you miss Ant

Not overly, it is just Ant, Mike an I, are about the same height.

5lb not sure why I said 2lb long day 🤦

(Disclaimer: this comment it's gonna sound sooo not English!) Dude, that Maxus is a HUNTING gun, not a clay gun! Moreover, it's a hunting gun meant for waterfowl. Again moreover, North American waterfowl hunting (where the shell of choice is 3.5" more often than not). That 1 1/4 Oz in the waterfowl world is considered a "light load". Most of the season you're allowed 3 or 5 geese and 6 ducks, daily bag limit. The North American waterfowler thinks: "Ain't gonna go home one goose short of the bag, 'cause the birds didn't decoy just right. I'm gonna get myself some #BBB 3.5" shells and I'm gonna shoot at those birds passing at the outer limits of the field." (1 1/4 Oz is about 32 grams while the 3.5" shells pack 36 grams of shot). Also, while sporting loads are limited to "3 Dram equivalent" of powder, hunting loads are always heavier than that. Much heavier. About cleaning... ALL gas operated semis are quite a chore to clean. It's the price to pay for significantly lighter recoil. If you don't want to clean messy gas semis, get an "inertia" (and don't complain about your shoulder). Bottom line, it sounds like you chose the wrong tool for your purposes... That Maxus is a solid waterfowl gun. At the same time, it's a poor choice for clay shooting.

Further to my previous comment - Maxus is one of those guns that need a "break-in". That means: "Reliably cycle" means heavy loads.

Thanks to Canadian waterfowler for the comments made and point taken. But I ain't no novice when it comes to breaking in shotguns and I put way more than 100 heavy gauge shells through the Maxus 2 to break it in. Over here the gun is advertised as an all round tool not just for waterfowling, and John and his colleagues were praising it as such., I just begged to differ from their appraisal.

@@barryfreer4841 I didn't know they have a different marketing strategy in UK... You're right - Maxus 2 is no "all around" gun.

You sound fun :D

Used Maxus, used A400 or used Fabarm XLR5 velocity

On a good day you might get one under £1000

A400 multi target is nice

@@tgsoutdoors Fabarm, not looked at that one.

@@tgsoutdoors I'll have to have a little chat with Craig!
