This might be considered the poor step child to the famous Mossberg 590 and 500 tactical shotgun lines. But is it? A long term donor asked if I could buy one and test it. So I did.

It's always a temptation to judge something soley on price. I have counseled against this in my many reviews here. This Maverick 88 is kind of like that.

I say "kind of" because in some ways, discussed here, it is a bit rough around the edges. But what's important?

This is: materials used, durability, function, firepower, and reliability. You'll see the 88 ticks off those boxes and you'll see that again Mossberg delivers an amazing value to the tactical shotgun market in some intriguing flavors. I'll make the case and show why the Mossberg 590 and 500 are also still Hall of Famers here as well.
