Maverick 88

I have only ever heard good things about them except from people who have never owned or even shot one. Remi fan boys I'm looking at you.

I don't know what you're talking about...I own 2 870's, and I'm sort of fond of my friends Maverick(but I don't tell him that). I like the location of the safety in relation to the other controls on the 88 vs the 500. It wouldn't require to much re-learning to be able to run well, given the placement of the controls on the 88 vs the 500, for me.

I'd probably buy an 88 before I got a 500. Depends on how much...

Remis are good shotguns but for the price I went with the maverick.

The safety on the Maverick is alright but now that Ive messed with it and put my pistol grip on it I would like the thumb safety. I checked with my thumb and It feels like it might make it. The trigger safety is a bit weird feeling to me but its still alright.

Its basically a mossberg 500 minus a bayo lug, thumb safety and a removable fore-grip.

Someone mentioned to me that the Mossberg combo that they sell at Big5 is a hybrid 500/88. The fore end is an 88 or something like that.

They look and function exactly the same way. If you aren't going to change out a thing, or not modify your shotgun much, Maverick 88 wins. You can't beat that price vs. quality ratio.
