Description
The Maverick 88 in 20 gauge is built for the hunter who wants a dependable field gun without unnecessary complexity. It handles everything from early-season doves to squirrels and upland birds, and its lighter 20-gauge payload means noticeably less shoulder fatigue during a long day of walking cover compared to a 12-gauge load doing similar work.
The 26-inch vent-ribbed barrel is the right call for a field gun — the extra length over a home-defense tube smooths the swing on crossing birds and gives the shooter a longer sighting plane that aids instinctive pointing. The rib itself reduces heat mirage off the barrel on warm days, which matters when you’re taking a second or third shot on a flushing covey. Choke is fixed Modified, which handles most upland and light waterfowl situations without the need to carry a choke wrench.
The pump action is straightforward to run in any weather and requires no timing adjustments that a gas-driven semi-auto occasionally demands. Dual extractors and an anti-jam elevator keep empties moving out reliably even with light target loads or heavier hunting shells. The crossbolt safety sits in a natural position for a right-handed shooter and can be operated without shifting the grip. Stock and forend wear Mossy Oak Original Bottomland camo, which breaks up the shooter’s outline in timber and mixed brush. The package includes a gun lock and a waterfowl plug.
