A first shotgun should fit the person shooting it, and that's the whole point of the Maverick 88 Bantam. The stock is trimmed to a 13-inch length of pull, so smaller-framed and younger shotgunners can mount it properly instead of stretching for a full-size gun. At around 5.25 pounds with a 39.75-inch overall length, it carries easily on long walks through dove fields or squirrel woods, and the 20 gauge chambering keeps recoil manageable enough that new shooters build good habits instead of a flinch. A rubber recoil pad on the butt takes a little more sting out of the equation.
The 22-inch vent rib barrel wears front and mid-point bead sights, giving a clean, natural sight picture for wingshooting and clays. It ships with a Modified Accu-Choke, a solid do-everything constriction, and the threading accepts the full range of Mossberg Accu-Choke tubes if you want to tighten up for turkey or open up for skeet. The 3-inch chamber runs both 2.75 and 3-inch shells, and the barrel handles lead, steel, and other non-toxic loads, so it's ready for waterfowl blinds as well as upland fields.
Maverick Arms is part of the Mossberg family, and the 88 shares the bones that made the Mossberg 500 a household name: dual extractors, twin action slide bars, and steel-to-steel lockup for smooth, non-binding cycling. Barrels are even interchangeable with Mossberg 500 barrels of matching gauge and capacity, so this gun can grow with the shooter over time. The cross-bolt safety sits right in front of the trigger guard where it's quick to reach for either hand.
With a blued finish and a rugged black synthetic stock and forend, this is a working gun that shrugs off weather and truck-bed miles. It holds 5+1 rounds, comes with a cable lock, and is backed by a one-year limited warranty. For a young hunter's first seasons, it's tough to find a more sensible place to start.
Yes. Maverick 88 barrels interchange with Mossberg 500 barrels of the same gauge and capacity, and the Accu-Choke threading accepts standard Mossberg Accu-Choke tubes. That makes it easy to swap in a longer barrel or different chokes as a young shooter grows into different types of hunting.
The Bantam stock has a fixed 13-inch length of pull, roughly an inch and a half shorter than a standard adult stock. That shorter reach helps smaller-framed shooters get a proper mount and consistent cheek weld, which makes a big difference in both comfort and hit rates.
It can. The barrel and Accu-Choke tubes are rated for lead, steel, and other non-toxic loads, and the 3-inch chamber handles both 2.75 and 3-inch shells. Just match your choke to the load, and it's ready for the duck blind.
It's one of the most popular starter shotguns out there for good reason. The 20 gauge chambering and rubber recoil pad keep recoil friendly, the 5.25-pound weight is easy to carry, and the pump action is simple to learn and forgiving of any ammo. It uses the same core design as the Mossberg 500, so reliability is well proven.
