Maverick shotgun with 28" and 18.5" barrels $229 at Big5

[SC1]

Got an email with a one day only price. Sale price on website is $249. Email coupon price is $229. Is this gun any good?

For an HD or range toy, it's great. For skeet/trap/birds, not so much.

Could you elaborate on the skeep/trap point?

What would you guys recommend for skeet/trap?

Pump + fixed choke.

Pump + fixed choke.

So the 28" barrel has fixed choke? What's the issue with pump? Thanks.

[PS] Indeed, I see discussions about the fixed choke 28" barrel online.

Great deal - I’d snag one. It’s a fixed modified choke. I use a modified choke for bird hunting. You can always pick up a mossberg barrel with screw in chokes.

Thanks. The ebay item says it's a Maverick 88 barrel. Are they compatible with Mossberg 500?

$229 is a great price for the Combo! Snatch it up if you need one.

Yes.

If there is a possibility you might ever want to use steel shot, I'd pass on it.
