Iv always loved the Mossberg shotguns I had a 500 I used for years and never had a problem with it period and put thousands of rounds through it!! I like the 88 it’s a great gun other than where the safety is. I hate it ! It’s so much better on top using your thumb ! If I had a choice between the 500 and the 88 I’d take the 500 all day long !!

I’ve owned one since they came out,from slugs to buckshot to birdshot it’s never missed a lick, probably the best bang for the buck I’ve ever owned.

I bought this shotgun for daughter’s 13 birthday,
She loves her gun by the way. There is only 1 problem after cleaning it we found the trigger
Was broken. Now that is not knock on the company
This could happen to any firearm as this happened on a Remington 870 I bought. Now her new shotgun is at the company being repaired. She is really looking forward to getting in the field with her
New gun. Her birthday is in 5 days she is patiently
Waiting for her gun. She would like to let everyone know how easy this process has been.

When I purchased my Maverick 88 a few years ago, I was instantly disappointed as it came out of the box. Compared to my Remington 870, my Winchester 1200, everything about this shotgun screamed “Cheap POS” from the forearm wobble to the (a-hem) sights.
Almost so lightweight it felt like a toy.

After a few years of use with a 1000+ rounds downrange, this shotgun is proof that first impressions can be woefully mistaken.

I’m in agreement with this article’s reviewer, a great bang for the buck.
Have had Zero maintenance issues, has remained sturdy and the synthetic stock has held up beautifully. Haven’t modified it in any way as I haven’t seen the need. Became very comfortable handling and shouldering it on the first go-round and couldn’t be more pleased.
