In the realm of shotguns, few offer the versatility and dependability found in the Maverick 88 Field. Dubbed "the working man's shotgun," this pump-action marvel is as comfortable stalking game in upland fields as it is standing sentinel over your home. The Maverick Line has built a reputation for performance that doesn't falter, whether you're deep in the woods or preparing for any eventuality at home.
The Maverick 88 stands out as an affordable yet reliable option within its class. Its design allows compatibility with Mossberg 500 accessory stocks, barrels, and Accu-choke tubes—provided you stay within gauge and capacity parameters—affording shooters a customizable experience without straying from proven reliability.
This particular model boasts specifications that speak to its utility: chambered for 12-gauge shells with a capacity of 5+1 rounds and accommodating up to a 3-inch shell length. It features a vent rib barrel extending to 28 inches, topped with dual bead sights ensuring swift target acquisition—a crucial factor when precision counts most.
A modified choke tube offers adaptability across varied shooting scenarios while maintaining consistency in patterning. With an overall length of nearly four feet (47.75 inches) and weighing just seven pounds, it provides balance between maneuverability and stability.
Aesthetically pleasing yet purpose-driven, its synthetic camo stock finish pairs seamlessly with blued steel components offering durability against harsh elements typical of field use. The fixed length-of-pull at 14.5 inches ensures comfort during prolonged engagements or extended hunts.
For those seeking an all-around performer capable of adapting to myriad tasks without breaking stride—or budget—the Maverick 88 Field commands respect through sheer practicality.
