Maverick 88 Slug 12 Gauge 24 Inch Shotgun

Description

The Maverick 88 Slug is built for hunters who want a dedicated slug gun without spending big on a premium platform. The pump action runs on twin action bars, which keep the forend from twisting under hard use and ensure the bolt tracks smoothly even when you’re working the action quickly or your hands are cold and gloved. Dual extractors grip spent hulls from both sides, so a stuck case doesn’t become a problem in the field.

The 24-inch barrel gives slug shooters a longer sight radius, which matters when you’re running the rifle sights this gun comes with rather than mounting an optic. Those rifle-style sights — a rear notch and a front post — are the right tool for the job when shooting slugs at deer-hunting distances, where you want a precise point of aim rather than a bead. The cylinder-bore configuration means no choke constriction, which is standard practice for rifled slugs that need clearance to obturate and stabilize properly.

The blued finish is a traditional steel treatment that holds up in typical hunting conditions. The synthetic stock is compatible with Mossberg 500 accessory stocks and barrels, which gives you a practical upgrade path if you want to reconfigure the gun for a different role without replacing the receiver. The crossbolt safety sits in the trigger guard area and is straightforward to operate for either hand. At 5+1 capacity in 12 gauge with a 3-inch chamber, this is a working gun priced to be used hard.
