I have two of the Mossberg 88 Mavericks in 12 gauge. My first was a 28" modified with screw in choke. The barrel is vented rib and very nice quality. I shot trap with the gun and did pretty well on a hot, miserably humid day.
I bought a pair of choke tubes (Imp Cyl and Full) at Academy for $20! Midway ran a sale on an 18" cylinder bore spare barrel for $78 so I snagged that, too. Barrels for the Mossberg 500, fit the 88 perfectly!
My second 88 Maverick is an 18" cylinder bore plain barrel. I have it hanging in my hallway loaded with 00 buck short magnums.
Both guns are exceptional values and are made in Eagle Pass, Texas.
I am a lifelong fan of the Remington 1100 and 870 shotguns and I took to the Maverick without a single reservation. The Maverick receiver is aluminum as compared to the solid steel receiver of the 870 so the sound is different as you work the action. I like the safety location on the Maverick as it is similar to the Remington shotguns.
The Mossberg Maverick 88 gets two "thumbs up" from me!
