Looking to get a duck gun for next season because my pretty silver hunter just didn't like getting its self muddy and wet last year so it's going to be my dove gun now.

Plus I just want a new shotgun.

Love my Browning silver hunter... It's never let me down and will shoot the heck out of whatever I've put in it. That's why I'm sticking with Browning.

I thought I was set on the Maxus but seen some of you guys talk up the A5.

Which one would you go with? Pros and cons?

I love my Maxus, haven't shot the A5 though.

See which one fits you better.

I got the Maxus and have been really pleased. I wish it came in 20Ga.

I love my maxus bit have no experience with the A5.

Both.

I have a Maxus and will be getting an A5.

You can get he Winchester SX3 in a 20 gauge and it is the same gun as the Maxus!

The Maxus has awesome recoil reduction and the A5 is inertia driven which will shoot more rounds between cleanings. But, do you really want to chance a good hunt by not cleaning your shotgun often??? Anyway, you will be hard pressed to find a better balanced semi auto shotgun than the A5 (the Benelli M2 and SBE 2 are the same).

I want to know this myself, would love to be able to take each on a 2 day hunt and compare them.

Ill take gas over inertia all day long

Maxus, between those two

Maxus will fit just like your Silver

Why? Because you like cleaning guns?

I have a gas gun that gets cleaned about zero times a year

What you don't hunt with it?

I don't shoot guns I just play a hunter online

I have a beretta that has over 6k (probably alot more )shells through it, been cleaned three times in the 25years I've owned it..
My maxus has probably 1.5k been cleaned twice. Probably won't get cleaned for another 2k, since I figured out the Mobil one trick
Yet my wifes benelli can't make it through three days hunting in panhandle due to the sand.
Only normal maintance I do is oil down the outside of the beretta, oil my chokes and OU.

maybe I just buy better quality.

I'm gonna post some pics of my sx3 tmw morning, it still has mud in the chamber from duck season and still cycled 100 in a row Saturday morning at a shoot.

Dang gas guns!

Some people base their opinions solely off what they read on the internet.

They are the folks that traded their pos 870 for a sbe when they saw the cool ads.

Gas guns require no more maintenance than any other

I have the fake A5 and don't like it. Wish I had bought the maxis. Gas operated is the way to go in auto loader.

Maxus has served me very well.

if going for a look just get one that matches your purse the best, otherwise go for what fits the best

Not the gas and inertia I been shooting last 6 years, gas requires a lot more cleaning.

I really like the look of the A5 but the Maxus is nice as well. MSRP on them is pretty close.

The thing I love the most about my Silver Hunter is that it shoots every thing I've put in it from the cheapest dove loads to some higher end 3 in duck loads and turkey loads. It's never once jammed or given me any problems going on close to 8 years with minimal cleaning.

I was leaning heavy toward the Maxus but there's something about that A5 that I like. If I was positive I could get the same reliability out of the A5 I would really consider it.

Still leaning toward the Maxus just because it's more like my Silver hunter..... But man that A5 looks sweet! Wish I could get both

What gas gun?
