Maverick Arms Maverick 88 12 Gauge 28 Inch Pump Shotgun

Description

The Maverick 88 All Purpose is Mossberg’s working-budget field gun — built for hunters and new shotgun owners who want a reliable pump without paying for features they don’t need. It shares the same basic action geometry as the Mossberg 500 series, which means aftermarket stocks and barrels designed for the 500 will generally interchange, giving this gun a longer useful life than its price point might suggest.

The 28-inch ventilated rib barrel earns its length in the field. A longer sight plane makes it easier to track moving birds consistently, and the rib itself diffuses heat haze that can distort your sight picture during sustained shooting. That same barrel ships with an Accu-Choke tube — a Modified tube is included — so you can tune your pattern for the game and load you’re running without swapping barrels.

The crossbolt safety sits behind the trigger guard where your trigger finger naturally travels after a shot, making it fast to engage or release without repositioning your grip. The front bead sight is a deliberate simplicity: on a field gun used for wingshooting, a single bead encourages the instinctive swing-through technique rather than precise aiming that would cause you to stop on the target. The blued metal finish and black synthetic stock keep weight down and maintenance straightforward in wet conditions where a wood stock would require more attention.

At 5+1 capacity in 12 gauge with a 3-inch chamber, this gun handles the full range of standard and magnum field loads, from light target shells to heavy steel waterfowl loads, without modification.
