Product Overview

The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a no-nonsense 20-gauge pump-action shotgun built for hunters and sport shooters who want straightforward reliability without the premium price tag. With its 26-inch barrel, manageable recoil, and 5+1 capacity, this all-purpose shotgun handles everything from upland game to clay courses. The synthetic black stock keeps maintenance simple, while the vent-rib barrel and dual-bead sighting system give you a clear sight picture in the field.

What makes the Maverick 88 stand out in the pump-action shotgun category is its proven mechanics. Dual extractors, steel-to-steel lockup, and twin action bars work together to keep the gun cycling reliably, even in less-than-ideal conditions. The cross-bolt safety is intuitive and easy to find by feel. A 3-inch chamber gives you flexibility in ammunition selection, and the modified choke tube lets you dial in your shot pattern for the game you're pursuing.

At 7 pounds and 45.25 inches overall, it's light enough to carry all day but substantial enough to handle standard loads without excessive muzzle climb. The 14-inch length of pull fits most adult shooters comfortably. Whether you're heading to a hunting camp, an afternoon at the range, or need a home-defense option that you're comfortable depending on, the Maverick 88 delivers solid performance with minimal fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ammunition does the Maverick 88 20-gauge shoot?

The 3-inch chamber accepts standard 20-gauge ammunition up to 3 inches in length. This gives you plenty of options: field loads, sport shells, and magnum loads all work in this gun. Always check your ammunition packaging to confirm it's rated for 3-inch 20-gauge shotguns.

Is the Maverick 88 suitable for hunting?

Yes. The 26-inch barrel with vent rib and modified choke tube is well-suited to upland game hunting and waterfowl hunting with appropriate ammunition. The 20-gauge is lighter on recoil than 12-gauge, making it a solid choice for all-day hunting trips.

Can I change the choke on this shotgun?

Yes, the Maverick 88 comes with a modified choke tube, and it accepts interchangeable choke tubes so you can adjust your shot pattern as needed for different game or shooting scenarios.

What is included with the Maverick 88?

The shotgun ships with the modified choke tube already installed. No additional accessories are specified in the manufacturer information.
