Banded extended choke tubes and an oversize bolt release are also featured. The composite stocks and forearms are coated in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades camo and protected with Dura-Touch Armor Coating.

Both models will be offered in 12-gauge 3½- and 3-inch models with 26- or 28-inch barrel lengths. The A5 Wicked Wing ships with an MSRP beginning at $1,829.99, while the Maxus will start at $1,739.99.
