Mossberg has made the perfect home defense weapon with the Maverick 88! Great price, .12 gauge, 18” barrel. I like the stock much better than the pistol grip of the Shockwave— nice to have a shoulder backing up the .12 gauge. The 88 is basically the stripped down version of the 500.

Great Shotgun Very reliable for a fantastic price. If you need a basic pump action shotgun look no further. Highly recommended.

First quality name brand firearm, and the front bead sight is off center! Not to mention scratches along the bottom of the barrel... quite disappointed. Customer service was mediocre, and the turn around time would be about 8 weeks without any possible form of compensation. I decided to just keep it with this imperfection, but it will forever bother me.

what a great shotgun

These shotguns are without a doubt the most bang for your buck. In this price range most other shotguns are going to be made overseas. These are made in Texas and they are the best you can do for a dependable defensive shotgun for less than $300.

I love this shotgun. Perfect for home protection, and fun to shoot at the range. I might add, this thing is NOT for sissies, as it does have some kick to it, and you will know that you're shooting something.

Great gun, great price, ran 30 rounds of different ammo through it with no problems, less kick compared to my AR12, nice light little gun, would buy again.

The perfect tool for home defense. The quality and dependability of this shotgun combined with Buds price can’t be beat. Shipped to my FFL in South Florida in 2 days, wow! Thanks again Buds, you never disappoint.

Bought this and made a few cosmetic changes to it to fit my needs as a home defense gun. It was exactly what I wanted and didn't have the high price tag. As I understand it it's basically a stripped down Mossberg 500 and sure enough, a lot of accessories and so forth that fit the 500 also fit the Maverick 88. I did have one problem in the beginning with it dropping shells out the bottom, but it was taken care of under warranty and have had no problems since. The warranty service was really fast as well.

Excellent, well made, and very reliable shotgun. It’s a 500 series with the safety on the trigger guard. That’s the difference. I’ve owned two 500’s in the past and keep giving them away to family. I needed another house gun, and after pricing both and doing the research, I decided my best option was the Maverick 88. It’s working in nicely, getting just as smooth as my old 500s were. I highly recommended, both the shotgun and Bud’s. Excellent service and great prices.

Every home needs a shotgun. This Mossberg Maverick 88 is perfect for camp or cabin, farm or ranch, and home and hearth. Simple to operate, Maverick 88 is reliable and rugged. I have sent less than 100 rounds of Buck & slug through it with 2 FTE due to MY MISTAKE. Security does not have to be expensive. This shotgun demands regular cleaning. However, it is solid and safe. Buy 3 while you can.

I bought 3 of these for my police department. All functioned perfectly on the range with no malfunctions. Mossberg quality cannot be beaten for the money.

What do I need to say about this gun? For an inexpensive shotgun, it's well worth the purchase price. The action is pretty smooth and predictable. The recoil is about as expected for a lighter weight, shorter barrel 12 gauge. My shoulder was pretty sore after a day of skeet and traps. I did find that it is particular about the brand of ammunition. One well known brand would not rack reliably while another worked every time. I've only put about 150 shells through it so far but at this point I'd say it is a good value for the money.
