Ok so I was shooting ducks and geese with a Remington 870 Express Mag. It was good but I decided to make it me permanent slug gun for deer. I just got a Browning Maxus. So far I love it. The camo finish is great. I have the 28 in barrel 3.5 inch chamber version.

I was out duck and goose hunting in PA with some guys that were shooting Remington SP-10s..3.5 inch shells. Those guys could hit ducks and geese way further out than I could shooting 3 inch shells.

The felt recoil of the Maxus is really low. The gun is light. We walk about 1000 yards across a field to get to the small patch of woods to get to the blind. Every bit of weight counts. I found that the Maxus was lighter than all the other guns I was looking at (Benelli SBEII, Remington 11-87 and the Berettas). I am happy with mine.

Good luck with you choice
