Mossberg Maverick

[wayneside]

Anyone have a Mossberg Maverick for home defense? Looking into picking one up for the house...got a Saiga shotgun but feel the need to add another to the house.

Opinions pls?

Yup... .great gun, barely tell a difference between it and the 500.

I love mine as well. Added a pistol grip stock and a shell holder on the stock. It runs through 3" magnum shells, slugs, 00 buck ... no issues at all. I actually like the safety position on it better than the 500's also.

Any of the normal Mossberg 500 accessories fit (stocks, barrels, etc..) except for the forearm, so you have a wide array of stuff available for it.

Yup. Quite happy with it too.

God they are excellent for their price and the fact that they accept most of the 500 accessories is an added bonus

I have one and have run over 800 rounds through it in the first 2 months of owning it without a hitch.


I love mine.

I took my new 88 to the range Monday. At 10 yards, one trigger pull on the 88 did the same thing as 9 trigger pulls on my AR. And the holes were about .32 instead of .22.

Now with the AR those 9 trigger pulls were all in the 10 ring at 50 yards using a 1x red dot. The 88 may have had a bit more spread at that range.
