Picked this up for my son for an all around hunting shotgun...
Academy has it for $180.. Not bad for a gun you can drag through hell and not worry about it.
The Mossberg® Maverick® 88 12 Gauge All-Purpose Pump-Action Shotgun features dual extractors, twin action bars, positive steel-to-steel lockup and an antijam elevator for smooth, reliable performance that won't let you down. The shotgun features a black synthetic stock and forearm for durability and a 6-round magazine capacity with 2-3/4" shells and a 5-round capacity with 3" shells. Bead sights help promote accurate aiming, and only 1 pin needs to be removed to field strip for easy maintenance.
