Maverick Arms Model 88 Security Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Good shotgun for the money.

Shot a few boxes out of it and so far so good. Nice and lightweight, and with that the recoil is up there but nonetheless the Maverick 88 is a versatile tool.

Best Bang for your buck

I bought it 3 yrs ago and have shot all types of loads and brands through it. Never had a problem. Have exterminated many coyotes, snakes and squirrels with it. Accurate and dependable.

Love my 88

I really like this shotgun. Everything feels nice and solid and it feels great to shoot. I would recommend this gun to anyone. Solid shotgun and not just for the price.

Maverick 88 is great

I bought this a few months ago and took it to the range. It shoots nice and kicks hard. I purchased a stock, fiber optic bead sight, a sling, and a heat shield for about $65. It feels very nice and I am sure felt recoil will be less and control will be be

Great Shotgun!

I bought this shotgun about a month ago and have shot a box of shells. Very good action -acceptable recoil. For the money can't be beat.

Great Home Defense Weapon

I added the 6 position stock and fore arm grip, this will greatly reduce kick, I shot 3” triple 00 Buck off my shoulder with these add-ons, still kicks, but not as bad- I love it

Great Value, Solid Gun for Home Defense

I had never shot a 12 gauge and was a little nervous, not knowing if I would enjoy shooting it. I purchased it on sale for $179 about a month ago and finally had a chance to take it to the range a couple of days ago. I ran 35 clay target shells (1250 fps)

Dependable and Great Shotgun

Bought one day and took it back for it would not chamber the rounds and very hard to work. But we will see.

Best Bang for your Buck (pun intended)

This is probably the best deal out there currently on the firearms market in general. I bought my 5+1 security model with the 18" barrel when it was on sale for $179.99 and have absolutely fallen in love with this shotgun. Having used the Mossberg 50

Good Shotgun!

I bought mine Maverick 88 Security Model about 5 months ago. Its been a nice gun to shoot. No problems what so ever. Its a economic Mossberg thats worth the money! I just put a Hogue tamer pistol grip and planning on doing more upgrades in the near future

"Excellent Performer!"

"I see no fault in this shotgun (my 1st shotgun purchase BTW). Thus far has it performed very well and definitely gets the thumbs up from me!"

Can't ask for a better deal

I had been looking for a good home defense/varmint gun; something with decent quality, functionality, but nothing too fancy or expensive. My dad's 70's model Ithaca semi-auto 12 gauge is a great gun, but just too pretty for frequent use and has

Won't be disapponted

It's a cheap alternative the the Moss 500 but don't let the price fool you! This was a wise invest and the confidence that it will always work when I want it to never worries me. I recommend it to those on a budget and still want a well manufact

Can't ask for a better deal

I just picked one up this morning at the Hickory, NC location. I have to say that straight out of the box that it is worth every penny. Sturdy, lightweight, adequate capacity, and no bs design. I've been going to academy sports for several years and

Outstanding value and overall quality

I bought this about three months ago. Took it to shoot the first chance I had. Ran a hundred rounds through it with out a single FTF. Ordered a flashlight mount and sidesaddle for it that night. Absolutely perfect home defense shottie!

best for home defense

bought this for my first lineup of defense for my home. took it to the range and tested out this bad boy. cant ask for more for the best bang for buck. this shotty can be by my side when my life is on the line. has a litte kick but very manageable.

best bang for the buck

ive bought this shotgun and its great, gun home defense weapon for the price

Mossberg shotgun

Great gun, great price. A+++ I love it and would recommend this gun to everyone for home defense, hunting or anything you like. 1000%

Solid reliable cheap

Bought this three years ago. Accuracy is not a real point with shotguns - not a rifled pipe so if you expect much accuracy with slugs beyond 80 yards you will be disappointed. What it can do is cycle through hundreds of rounds of slugs, OO or bird shot wi

Good gun

I've had my Maverick for a few years and it is perfect for my home defense needs. With the shortened barrel and pistol grip in lieu of the shoulder stock, it is very maneuverable in tight quarters such as found in the average home or other building.

perfect for the purpose

Good quality firearm without breaking the bank. Available in either the 12 or 20 gauge and 18in or 28in barrel, the moss berg maverick is a great gun and the price is nice too.

Home Defense Security

I bought this 12 gauge as a home defense weapon. It is very comparable to the Mossberg 500 Series if you are looking for a less expensive shotgun. The price was phenomenal especially since I picked it up from Academy during there weekly sale. I would high

Dependable shotgun

I've had the gun a couple of months took to range no issues. Very dependable gun especially for the price. I will go back and purchase the 28 inch barrel for hunting.

Great BANG for the buck.

Best bang for the buck! Perfect for home security and you get Mossberg's reputation on quality!

Incredible Value

This year I got this excellent scattergun for Father's Day. Couldn't be happier. Tons of accessories out there for it too. Awesome.

perfect for the purpose

Trusted brand, when you need a reliable defense weapon for your home. Paid $229 from a usually competitive priced gun store. OOPs. Should have researched more. Academy has best price

Wanna have some fun?

The Maverick 88, 12ga. is one of the best all purpose shotguns for the price. You can get the 18.5bbl.,or 20bbl,with choke, 24inch rifled slug bbl. and a standard 26 or 28 inch bbl. with choke's. For $206 that's with tax, is a great buy, and a g

best home defense for the money

shoots great easy to use and clean perfect for home defense super reliable

Real great features

Bought a month a go. Really happy with the way it handles and is light weight. Also got the interchangeable barrel with scope to go with it. You can use for Home self defense or Hunting.

Hands down the best starter shotgun on the market

Comfortable grip and lightweight. It's easy to clean and accurate.

Solid shotgun for the price !!!

Absolutely love this shotgun actually I loved it so much I went and bought the 28 inch barrel version also now I have two great shotguns for under 400 bucks

Excellent Home Defense Option and Price!

I bought this shotgun for home defense. It has an 18.5" barrel which makes it easy to maneuver in close quarters such as a house. I was offered the Harrington and Richardson, which has all the dimensions of this one. I ultimately chose this one due t

Everything I needed

This mossy is everything you'd expect. Perfect. Had a friend purchase one as we'll.

great price

great gun for the price everything you need in a simple home defense..there is also pistol grips that fit the gun as well if you want to change it out. .

Great Firearm

I bought this 12 gauge as my first home defense weapon. This gun is easy to handle but does pack a punch or kick as compared to longer barrels. The price is phenomenal and I would recommend this firearm highly.

Perfect shotgun package

I will be purchasing this shotgun in the next 10 days. I have used my cousins and have been by the local store to look at their inventory. The sales staff was great! Informative and helpful.

Good Value for the Money

Great for home defense. I put on a tactical stock and it looks awsome. I have never had any problems. Shoots well. The workmanship is very good, also.

Excellent home defense shotgun for the money

I searched high and low in my area for the best price on this shotgun. Academy had the best price. I wanted a good quality, name brand home defense shotgun for a great price and this shotgun fits the bill. I took it to the range for some target shooting.

For the home and the range

First and foremost, for the price point of this pump-action it is an overall steal. Upgrade the stock to M4 adjustable one and not only do you get a better grouping, you can even use it to shoot skeet. You feel it though since Mossbergs are known for thei

huntmaster

I bought this gun about a week ago and so far I love it. It is a no frills gun that is solid and great to shoot. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Great Mossberg!

I just picked this gun up in Chattanooga and have shot about 50 rds through it and i am really impressed by this gun! It has worked flawless. Great gun that wont break the bank!!!!

Awesome shotgun

I purchased this in the store in Knoxville, TN and it was very economical. I have taken it to the range twice, both times to the police range in Norris, TN. I have run several rounds of bird-shot and several rounds of buck-shot and this gun functions flaw

Best Value Shotgun

All I can say is this gun is awesome!! I have put well over 1,000 rounds down the pipe and let me tell you this thing is a work horse and shoots dead on every time. It is pretty basic but you can modify to you liking most of the 500 accessories will fit t

Excellent Purchase

I bought this from a friend and between us we have dumped hundreds and hundreds of shells through it. Sometimes 13 shells at a time because of the side saddle I have. The barrel gets hot but this gun just keeps running. The action is smooth and reliable a

Great Shotgun

I was new to duck hunting and didn't want to spend a fortune to get in. I was going to buy a more expensive shotgun, but the clerk introduced me to the Maverick. It was cheap enough so I bought two. One for my son as well. We both are avid duck hunte

Love it!!!!!

I purchased this to go to turkey shoots. I was very nervous to shoot it. I was expecting it to kick hard. I was shocked. I even hit the target the first time. I did purchase a extra full choke to go to the next shoot. Hubby says that it works even better

can't beat it for the price

There's no way to go wrong with this shotgun. For $200.00 you're getting a solid firearm. If you change to a pistol grip it is a handful. It's a good home defense gun.

Very Similar to the Mossberg 500

For the money, you can't beat this gun. The mechanics are almost identical to the Mossberg 500. It is a well made gun and can handle the abuse of being thrown around in the back of your Jeep or pickup. It makes a very handy Self-Defense shotgun as we

Great shotgun for the price

I purchased this shotgun about 3 years ago and it is still as reliable as ever. American parts assembled in Mexico. Don't listen to those who will tell you it's "Made in China". Really great gun for the price. The Mossberg 500 or Rem 8

Can't Beat it!

I had to wait 3 weeks to catch it in stock, but was worth the wait. Already put several rounds of buckshot and field loads. Functions flawlessly. First few rounds was hard to chamber/eject, but loosened up quickly.

Only One Problem

I got this shotgun almost 2 years ago. It worked great for the first year, but then it began to have issues extracting the shell from the chamber. However, after some quick research, I learned that I wasn't the only one who had this issue. Mossberg a

Great Shotgun

You can't go wrong with the maverick 88. I have put over 250 rounds of slugs with out any jams. This is almost the same as the Mossberg 500 except for the safety and the forearm.

Excellent gun. work very well and reason able price.

Awesome shotgun for the price

Awesome shotgun for the price. You can add the 18.5 barrel for it for half the cost of the 500 shotgun. Mine did not come with a cap so check before leaving store. Or will be awkward if questioned by wildlife agent why you have 6 shells in the gun. Highly

Maverick 88

Great Shotgun Unfortunately I didn't buy from Academy, and ended up paying $300, for a $189.00 weapon. But it does work great I have no complaints. Obviously do Homework before buying from anyone else.

Bang Bang Bang for your buck

Need a Home Defense gun? Can't beat it. It's not something you take duck hunting or showing off at the range, it stays in the house and does it's job, protect your family. Lots of Mods available!

very nice

I bet my life on this shotgun every night. For the price you really cannot beat it. If you are wanting to do a lot of mods to it you might be better off paying more for a big name shotgun. But for home defense this is great.

Pretty sweet for the money

You just can't beat this weapon for the money... They are made a bit more cheap than the mossberg 500.. Trigger assy is made of polymer like the stock and fore end. The safety is by the trigger guard and is my only complaint.. I like the safety locat

Not everything i expected

I purchased this shotgun about a month and a half ago and have not been able to use it. I couldn't load shells into the magazine because the spring or the follower was stuck. I ended up cutting myself trying to push the spring in the magazine to load

Good gun bad quality

I got this gun 6 months ago for home defense. Decided to take it out to the range to test it out. Shot 6 shells perfect. Shell #7 broke the tip of the berrel!!!! I guess its a good for a few shots. Working with mossberg on the warranty

decent shotgun for the money, the only issue i have with it is the stock buttstock is crap for a magnum load, and the front grip isnt very good for holding. other than that, it performs very well, cycles good, cleans easy and overall is a good buy for a 1

Excellent home defense for under $200. Basic, but what do you want for that price. Works well, should last a long time and is very reliable. I'd buy it or the Remington 870. Both are excellent for the bucks.

Like the sign says "Best Bang for your buck"! I searched long and hard for a inexpensive but reliable shotgun for home security. I found it here at Buds. Retail stores charge between $250 and $310 for the Mav 88. Bud's price of $193 blew them away. The re

Fit and finish aren't great but it solid and dependable. This is my 2nd Maverick 88 and never had a problem out of either one yet. Great gun to keep around the house for some home defense. For less than $200 its a great gun

Got my mav 88 in today and am very impressed. Cleaned it and shot it when i got home, shoots better then my department issued winchester! I would HIGHLY recomend this product to anyone looking for a good HD gun. Finish might not be as good as a FNH but i

This gun is really awesome looking and a very good shotgun! What I love is the price was Right at $200 and It takes all the parts a Mossberg 500 will take expect the forend(you have to get a new tube but thats not much). I wish they had more of this kind

This is the second Maverick 88 i have bought. Works great just like my 28" pump shotgun. Cycles great and no problems at all. Fired 00 and 8 shells through it. I can't think of a reason why I would buy any other brand when the prices are so low. Thanks to

First shotgun I have ever purchased/fired, and I am very happy that I picked this bad boy up. Took it to the range today and it fired 100rds without a problem. I was hitting 4 out of 5 clays the first time I had ever used a shotgun, so i know it was very

I took the shotgun out of the box and decided to see how well it would cycle through ammo,After 8 tries I was unable to cycle a full magazine through it.The gun jammed,would not take shell from magazine,and it would drop shells,my bad for excepting the tr

Love the gun ,and thanks for good service

Very happy with my purchase. It cycles both 2 3/4" and 3" shells just fine. It came covered in a fair amount of grease, fire by me. The price was right. Although the foregrip feels somewhat cheap, I would recommend this to anyone and I would definitely bu

I am completely satisfied with my purchase at Bud's. The shipping was very fast, and the price was outstanding. I took my Maverick to the range for the first time today, and I am amazed at what a great shotgun this is. The action is as smooth as silk, it

Was a little nervous purchasing this gun because of its low price. So far it is perfect with 2 3/4 inch shells. I am surprised at its smooth action. My home is safer with 8 rounds of 00 buck at the ready. Will it shoot 100s of rounds remains to be seen. B

Just picked it up from my FFL and It was what I wanted.....he added a pistol grip and the Mossberg Historian finished off my decision with the info he gave me about the model 88 versus the Model 500. *8 shots of 12 gauge goodness without reloading for $20

Awesome shotgun, like it better than my 2 870s, light, nimble, and has PLENTY of accessories to make it your own. For 200 bucks, it's a steal.

This is a great weapon. It took a little longer than expecte

Outstanding shotgun for the price. I have a Mossberg 500 but wanted higher capacity and it seemed better deal to pick up the 7+1 Maverick since they are essentially the same mechanically, save for one component made in Mexico and I would have had to chang

Good gun! Like the other guy said, it comes with lots of grease - but most folks put their guns through a good cleaning before firing anyway. And you get to know your weapon that way too. One thing I noticed is that because it is a lighter gun than wood s

Just received this gun last week, Let me tell all you shotgun people out there for 200.00 you will never beat this 12g. it amazes me how people tell you that you need a benelli or a Remington even to have a good shotgun i say bull. i just picked up an tac

Good gun for the money. can tell mossberg had there hands in it. a little cheaper made but shoots good. put 8 shots thourgh it without a problem. good home defense small and very light. If your a small guy it kicks like a freaking mule. buds shipped the g

Great price, good weapon. Purchased for home defense, but did take a deer with it this season.

Just got mine two days ago. Shot it today for the first time. For the price i definitely suggest this shotgun. Buds was awesome, kept me up to date on the process. I actually like the butt pad better than the one on my 870. You can really tell a differenc

Great gun! shot it on friday (1-20-2012 birdshot) and it performed flawlessly. 7+1 capacity of this gun is a plus. The overall fit/finish of this gun is awesome. Be prepared for some bruised shoulders after a few rounds.

I have had this shotgun for a few weeks now. This gun shoots well. Me and my 12 yr old son have put only 30-50 rds through it( no slugs yet). After i get a limb saver recoil pad. "00" Buck in this thing is a breeze to shoot, no problems with recoil at all

I orderd this shotgun and it got to me fast. And i also have a great ffl too. Everything was fast. As for as the maverick shotgun ill have to give a A+ all the way looks or good more than i was looking for very nice gun !!!!!!!Thanks Buds & Lee my ffl !!!

After the longest two weeks of waiting I finally got this great deal on a shotgun delivered to the FFL dealer . It is exactly as depicted and functions well . The lynchburg pawn let me see him cycle some rounds through it before accepting delivery and the

This fine 12 gauge shotgun came quickly and was in perfect condition with a light oil coating for storage. Once I got it clean, the fun began! I have not had any problems with this Maverick 88 and it is nice that most Mossberg accessories work for it as w

Love this shotgun. You cannot beat the 7+1 capacity. Added ATI adjustable stock, saddle with red dot. Recoil is not bad at all. Cycles through all 8 shells flawlessly as quick as you can pump. Cannot go wrong for the price.

I should have written this sooner, but in a nutshell this shotty is on par with its mossy 500 cousins. First day out of the box, but post mods ie, tactical stock and heat shield this bad boy was flawless. I put roughly 100 rounds through it. 2.75, and 3in

I love this shotgun. I am very happy with the quality and workmanship. Much better quality than described by reviews on other sites. I use it mainly for home defense. I will switch out the stock for an adjustable stock for more comfort. Smooth operation.

Best bang for your buck in overall features and value.8 round capacity for home defense shotgun,mount a tactical light and loaded her up.

Great shotgun, especially for the price! shot everything from birdshot,buck , and even a couple boxes of slugs and not one problem what so ever. Did i mention how affordable buds has this shotgun?

Love Bud's....I TELL EVERYONE......GREAT SHOTGUN!!! Tough, Sleek, Deadly......4th Gun from Bud's, and they always leave me wanting more........GUNS that is !!!....This 1 is a keeper.

Great shotgun i just love it. This was my first time buying a gun on the internet and i was skeptical at first but now that i have received my gun i will buy from buds again.

I've used this shotgun for approx. 9 months now. Shot hundreds of rounds thru it. I love it! It is easily modified with aftermarket products and it shoots many different types of ammo with zero problems. I do break it down and clean it like a weapon shoul

Great shotgun very reliable my second one and i have put over 500 rounds threw it with no problems i would grab it in a self defence situation in a heartbeat

Very impressed with the fit and finish of the Maverick, considering the price paid. Lightweight, don't plan to shoot magnum loads in this one so the weight is OK. Ejection a little tight but have only shot a few rounds so I am sure that will loosen up. I

Am very happy with the maverick 88. It is a very well built shot gun. Bud's service was also excellent. Placed order 10-10-12 -Wednesday and rcvd it on Friday 10-12-12. Will definately order from Bud's in the future.

Good shotgun especially for the price. I took it out to the range after putting my ati top folding stock on it and with in the first 6-8 rounds I put through the weapon it jammed. The pump action locked up. I was frsutrated trying to fix the weapon withou

Gun functions as expected. The bead sight is very simple but was effective at the range. The slide was extremely tight for the first 8 shells but quickly loosened up after that. I like having 7 rounds in the tube and one in the chamber, but shooting 8 sh

Have not taken my latest acquisition to the range yet, but as always, Bud's was priced right and delivery went without a hitch. I used my usual FFL: Rightful Liberty in Pinecrest, Fl.--Ruben and his wife are always helpful and friendly. Will buy from Bud'

VERY NICELY MADE, HIGH QUALITY. WELL WORTH THE $$$

This is a great shot gun for the money. I had some people try to discredit it because its cheaper then the 500's but really its just as good. I was told after purchasing the trigger assembly had plastic parts in it and thats why its inferior however after

Bought one of these last summer. It's been great. No misfires or any other issues. Mossberg pistol grip fits it fine.

Very nice shotgun. You can't be the price either.

Nice looking 12 gauge. Has a smooth action and I get 9 shells in the magazine with 2 1/4" LE 00 buckshot. Cant beat the price of Buds!

Awesome gun for an awesome price. First time using buds was a little hesitant for a while, but finally ordered something. Coming from a small town with over priced guns, I will definitely be using buds again. Awesome customer service and shipped free took

Looking for a basic, simple, affordable, RELIABLE home defense shotgun? THIS IS THE ONE! Great shotgun! This is my 3rd one, No issues AT ALL with any of them! Awesome Price!

Awesome gun, review was a little late but gun is well made, shoots great can't go wrong with this purchase.

Excellent home defense shotgun. The 8 rounds is a plus. Very light & easy to get on target.

Very basic shotgun, but a very reliable shot gun due to the simplicity.

Not 1 complaint with this shotgun, for the price you really cant beat it. Smooth action and pretty accurate. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a budget friendly home protection shotgun

First time I shopped with buds and despite hearing some nasty things about some of their service, I was quite surprised that the whole experience was buttery smooth. I'm bud's way more often in the future definitely. And the Mossberg Maverick 88 is such a

I finally got my Maverick 88 out to the range today. I ran 75 rounds down the tube and it fired every time...without a hitch. It is a pleasure to shoot and well worth the money I paid for it. I am glad I made this purchase and would not hesitate to buy an

It's Maverick 88 from buds , both are top notch in my book !!!

Both Buds and Maverick excellent. Had a great experience shopping with them. Will do more in future.

Great shotgun. Get the job done Jack! Put a knoxx pistol grip on it and went to range and put in work. Gun cycles everything. One of my least expensive guns but one of my favorite. Don't know how Mossberg does it.

Fast shipping first time buying from buds will buy from again gun is great quality mossberg

Well, after having this shotgun for a couple of years and running everything from bird shot to rifled slugs, I have to say I'm pretty impressed. It takes almost all accessories from the mossberg 500/590 line up with the exception of heatshields. I have ha

Nice Gun with Mossberg quality for a good price. Buds communication was great with quick shipping

Great product for the money. A lot of gun for $198. Came well packaged, clean, and in perfect condition. Better finish then I expected for this price. An inexpensive, solid solution for home defense. Thanks to Buds for continued wonderful, worry free se

This gun was in perfect order when I unboxed it. The safety lock , the owner manual, and usual paperwork were not in the box. I had to call Mossberg to have them sent. I fully expect that this gun will be like most Mossy shotguns, and work like a champ.

Didn't come with a tested shell. haven't shot the gun yet but looks good and the price was amazing.

Picked mine up today, perfect shape. Thank you Buds.

Great weapon for home defense! very reasonable pricing, light and easy to handle! Excellent service at Bud's made for a great purchase! Very well pleased!

This was my first purchase from Buds and it couldn't have been easier. The price was the best I could find, great reviews from other customers (I am a research nut), and the simplicity of Bud's ordering process drove me to purchase the Maverick 88. It too

Ordered Monday evening at 6 o'clock and was at my ffl Thursday at noon. Buds is great and will only order from buds. Shotgun is awesome. 3rd. Order from buds and placing number 4 next week, 92fs Inox%uD83D%uDE4C. Can't go wrong with buds.

for $200 this is the best bang for your buck right here.. this is a nice piece very underrated.. ill be back for more soon

this is a great shotgun for the price. holds 8 shells and cycles real smooth. I do plan on upgrading but starting at around $200 for a solid shotgun is great.

Best Price , great service , got my gun im very happy

Just picked up this security Mav 88 because I wanted something shorter than my 28" barrel for home use and why not go for the max capacity at the same time! Gun is great after the first couple of boxes have run through it. Best shotgun around for home def

Fast shipping, great price and a very good weapon. Checked it out, fired a few rounds and everything is good. Thanks.

Great starter gun or reasonably priced self defense gun for under the bed or closet. Looks fine and functions smoothly. Well worth the asking price. Will probably buy another one for the cabin.

Just an great and awesome gun for home defense and vehicle carry

If you are wanting a home protection weapon then this is the weapon for you, however if you would like to actually use it for purposes such as hunting and or other sport, all other game, then buy a weapon that's for your purpose

Me love my new shotgun, cheap price, exceptional quality and the shipping was extraordinarily fast. The customer service agent was very polite, respectful and knew his stuff and helped me with my transaction in about 1 minute. I've been hearing rumors of

Great product for the price . I like it .

the good I am quite happy with the quality, the action is tight but functions as it should. I did not clean it befor use and had no loading of feeding issues. The stuff you should know. It is a very light shotgun, the first time i took it out to the r

I had not have time to go shooting yet.

I haven't shot it yet but it came to my dealer in less than 48 hours and the rifle itself looks perfect. This is my third Buds purchase in less than a year and so far no issues. Highly recommend their services.

For the money this shotgun cannot be beat. Buds purchase process was amazing as always. Shotgun functions flawlessly and recoil is manageable. With low recoil buckshot is controllable for everyone in the family. If you are looking for an affordable home d

Pretty much indistinguishable from the Mossberg 500, this is a well made and sturdy alternative. I cleaned it up from shipping, lubed the cross-bolt safety (was a little stiff) and put about 100 rounds through it over a period of a long weekend. Works gre

For a $200 shotgun this thing works. I don't think you can beat it for the money. I added a side saddle for shells on the stock and receiver, a short Hogue stock and sling. I even qualified with it to for LEO use for my department. It's nothing fancy, but

I have run approx. 100 round through this gun trap shooting and it has worked flawlessly for me. I really like the 7 + 1 capacity. I think its a good looking gun and excellently priced for and economy Mossburg.

The best possible combination of price and quality. Handles like a dream. Also, buying / shipping through Bud's was clean and easy. Absolutely NO complaints.

If you're looking for a "inexpensive" very reliable, turn it into pretty much what you want it to be kinda gun...this will definitely fit the bill. Right out of the box you'll be amazed with how easy you'll be on target, all kind of (reasonably priced) ki

nice shotgun for the money. looks great.........shoots great. would recommend to anyone needing a home defense gun. the only bad is it kicks like a mule........but hey....its a 12 gage shotgun.........and thats the nature of the beast. i will probably pic

SWEET SWEET gun! I love it!!!

What a great home defense shotgun , for the money It is very smooth to operate If you are looking for a home defense firearm you can't go wrong with this baby !!

Best 200 bucks I ever spent.

Nice for a first shotgun And better capacity than Most at 7+1 2 3/4 inch shells A++

Awesome service from buds quick as always, the gun is great for the price a quality product. Can't wait for my next purchase customer for life.

great looking gun for the money but I picked it up from ffl 2 days before it showed shipped and still haven`t recieved tracking number

Dependable and lethal, slide the round in ,....and the sound makes ya wanna pee,..... iffin your the Bad guy.....

Very nice shotgun. Love it!

Super Fast Shipping. What can I say for $200 this a Great Lil shot gun Mossberg made a working mans 12ga.

This shotgun is a charm and for the price you cannot beat it and I love how Budsgunshop has price match they are incredibly good in customer service and fast shipping thank you guys

Easy to operate, good price, shoots well. Nice and reliable.

Good gun fits 7 three inch shells in the mag tube and one in the chamber. Very clean. Lightweight. The slide is sticky when I first went out with it cause its new, but it slides super easy now after I cycled it a bunch and oiled it. So oil it when you fir

It%u2019s cheap and it works. Handles all loading from light target to some nasty slugs. There are no recoil reducing properties to this firearm whatsoever so be aware that even light loads may leave a mark as opposed to a trap gun etc.

I have owned this exact same shotgun once before, about 10 years ago. If anything, I think it has been slightly improved by use of a more forgiving recoil pad. Not much else seems to have changed. It's definitely an entry level, utilitarian 12 gauge. No f

The Maverick 88 12 ga 20" security arrived well packaged and undamaged from Bud's in the expected time frame. It is well designed, (cross-bolt safety located in front of trigger guard) finished, and functions well. Don't be concerned about the polymer as

The gun functions perfectly and quick delivery by Bud’s to my FFL. Would absolutely do business with Bud’s again!

First I should say that I haven’t fired the gun yet. I bought the Maverick 88 to keep by the bed in case of emergency. It seems to be well built and cams plenty lubed out of the box. It looks well built for the $200 price tag and the $10 lifetime warranty

Loving this shotgun, super affordable and works great!

Had this bad boy for 2 years and still running strong after thousands rounds of Wal-Mart 12ga Winchester. Wish there was 28 inch barrel that fits this 8 shot.

Amazing shipping,great quality vary well construct plane on buy another 88

Good cheap shotgun arrived fast, the pump handle is very wobbly but that%u2019s the only negative but I don%u2019t mind much as I bought it to keep in the closet for my wife

Great shotgun for the money THANKS buds.

awesome firearm for the price. shoots great. had a few friends shot it and they were impressed. will definitely recommend to a friend. thanks to buds gun shop.

Fast shipping, great gun, very happy

A good choice for an affordable no-frills shotgun. Advise to give it a good cleaning and oil before use as the slide was a little tight. Giving it 5 starts not because it's as good as a top of the line Mossberg but because it was as advertised, an inexpen

200 bucks for a great home defense shot gun you can count on from mossberg. What else is there to say.

Ordered this Maverick 88 Security 20" 8-shot form Buds. As always, Bud's won my heart with the Price Match option. The actual gun Bud's sent was the new version of this model, meaning, the Bolt & Shell Elevator is actually Black in color for better concea

Awsome firearm. I added sidesaddle, sling, and a heat shield. This is a very dependable and great shotgun for the money. I would recommend for anyone looking for an inexpensive security shotgun or just a great range toy... Great Product.. Thanks, Mossberg

A great transaction and love the gun!

There's not much to say about this shotgun. It's a good choice for a budget minded person who is looking for a multiuse option.

Firearm arrived exactly as pictured and with no damage/blemishes. Shipping was also very quick. This was my first purchase from BUDS after hearing Hickok45 talk so highly of them and will definitely be buying more firearms through this company.

My favorite shotgun!! I have the mossberg 500 scorpion and the ksg and somehow I always enjoy this one a lot more! Super light and fun to shoot. Buds always lowest price and quick shipping

love it, thats all I can say

You pull trigger..it goes bang. Wanted one to have in the house. Didnt want to spend a ton for a fixture behind the bedroom door. Got just what I wanted at a desirable price point. Buds was great. Would highly recommend.

I Love this shotgun. Great product. Will buy more from Buds Gun shop. Great service, quick delivery. In process of shopping for 1892 Winchester. This 12 guage I bought, operates great, It has always gave good service. I highly recommends to buy this

My Maverick made it in and as soon as I got it home I loaded the tube with Federal Low Recoil Slugs. As soon as I get the opportunity, I'm hitting the range to break this baby in....... Always a pleasure dealing with Bud's

I'm very satisfied , I was wondering about the kick but with the shoulder pad it comes with , SMOOTH or SOFT . What ever you want to call it . I've shot every type of load with NO problems . No problems with feeding or ejections . It's hard to believe I g

The Maverick 88 I received far exceeded my expectations. Even after watching countless good reviews on YouTube before purchasing I didn't expect much from a 200 dollar Shotgun. As soon as I open it and began to handle it I knew I made a good purchase. It

Soon as I received this shotgun I installed the tacstar front and rear pistol grip set along with the side saddle shellholder with weaver rail. Put in a mini shell adapter and loaded up 13 aguila mini slugs! 12 in the tube, one in the chamber. This thin

Perfect home defense shotgun without breaking the bank. Most importantly very reliable.

I thought this gun would be one of those crackerjack firearms that are unreliable and unsafe, but 1000 rounds later I must say this firearm is tuff to beat for the price. I did have an ejection error in the first 20 rounds, however, this was my fault in t

Good gun to keep around love it

I believe for the price of this gun you can%u2019t beat it for its intended purpose. Being an 870 guy and this being my first mossberg shotgun, I wasn%u2019t aware that the barrels aren%u2019t interchangeable with guns of a different magazine tube length.

The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a well built and attractive shotgun! There are a ton of accessories and aftermarket options available for it, and like all Mossberg shotgun products, you know you have quality and reliability built right into it.

Graet price for a real work horse. Have had this shoutgun for a few years now and put every type of round down it with out issue. One of the best shotguns out there for the price.

I ordered a Maverick 88 from buds I was very impressed product was as advertised great quality, would definitely recommend to anyone to buy from bud's

Many years ago in SE Asia I carried a Winchester Defender and I thought it was the best shotgun I ever could depend on. As a police officer I was introduced to a Mossberg 500 and 590rnboth commanded my respect. The only difference I see in this Maverick 8

Maverick 88 security no regrets on my part gun is lightweight and it is for the best part really good and functional home defense shot gun hands down...thanks again Buds Guns Shop for the very fast response and shipping..

Great shotgun! I would recommend for home defense

This Marvin Mossberg Maverick shotgun is great have not had a chance to shoot it yet but I simply love it runs so smooth Olga reviews and YouTube and other site like full 30 it a thumbs up really is light it's not really heavy I'm thinking by the end of t

Was on a budget and was researching whether to get the 18" with 5 shell tube or this one. I have no regrets about this purchase. Worth every penny.
