There is a reason the Maverick 88 keeps showing up in duck blinds, dove fields, and behind truck seats all over the country. It runs on the same basic bones as the Mossberg 500, with twin action bars, dual extractors, positive steel-to-steel lockup, and an anti-jam elevator, so the pump stroke stays smooth and feeding stays reliable even when the gun gets wet, muddy, or neglected. This All Purpose model chambers 20 gauge shells up to 3 inches, holds 5+1, and wears Mossy Oak Treestand camo synthetic furniture over a blued barrel and receiver.
The 26 inch vent rib barrel with a front bead gives you a smooth swing on crossing birds without feeling like you are dragging a goose gun through the brush. A Modified choke tube comes installed, which is a sensible middle-ground pattern for doves, squirrels, rabbits, and early season ducks. Since the threading matches Mossberg Accu-Choke tubes, swapping to a Full for turkeys or an Improved Cylinder for close flushing quail is cheap and easy. The 20 gauge chambering keeps recoil manageable too, which makes this a great pick for newer wingshooters or anyone tired of getting thumped by a 12.
The main difference from a Mossberg 500 is the crossbolt safety in front of the trigger guard instead of the tang-mounted slider, and a forend that is fixed to the action tube. Barrels interchange with Mossberg 500 barrels within the same gauge and capacity, so you can add a slug barrel or a shorter security barrel down the road and turn one gun into several. The synthetic stock shrugs off rain and scratches, and the camo pattern blends in whether you are on a treestand ladder or tucked into a fencerow.
At 7 pounds with a 14 inch length of pull, it fits most adult shooters comfortably and carries all day without complaint. This is the kind of shotgun you buy once, hand around the family, and never worry about. Simple, rugged, and ready for just about any small game season on the calendar.
Yes. The Maverick 88 is built on the Mossberg 500 platform, and barrels swap over within the same gauge and magazine capacity. That means you can pick up a 20 gauge Mossberg 500 slug barrel or a shorter barrel later and change the gun's role without buying a second shotgun.
This model uses the Mossberg Accu-Choke thread pattern, and a Modified tube comes installed from the factory. Any 20 gauge Accu-Choke compatible tube will screw right in, so adding a Full choke for turkey or an Improved Cylinder for close-range birds is quick and inexpensive.
The core action is the same, with twin action bars, dual extractors, and steel-to-steel lockup. The main differences are the Maverick 88's crossbolt safety located in front of the trigger guard instead of the 500's tang safety, plus a simpler fixed forend. It is Mossberg's way of delivering proven reliability at a lower cost.
Yes. The chamber accepts both 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells, and the barrel is rated for lead, steel, and other non-toxic shot. That flexibility covers everything from light dove loads to 3 inch turkey and waterfowl loads in one gun.
