I had a MaxusSporting Clays Gold with 28" barrel. I shoot clays. I felt the gunneeded a little more front end weight . I always wished I had gotten the 30" barrel.
Just an FYI, I believe the browning chokes are much more open than one would think. For example, Improved Modified is typically .025" constriction, the Browning Improved Modified is .015". .015" is the same as a Briley Light Modified. The Full choke goes to .037" That is considered extra full by most conventions.
The gun was reliable all the way down to 3/4 oz loads.
Personally, if I were to do it again, I would get a Beretta and have an adjustable comb and adjustable pad installed. You can easily add weight to the front by changing the end cap on the forearm.
If you ecver become very recoil sensitive, you can add most any recoil device to the Beretta without having to worry about interference from the recoil spring tube .
Then again , everyone that ever shot my Maxus shot it lights out. I never did well with it.
