  • Gettin a pump action Fri.

    Found the mossberg maverick 88 I want at academy. $170. But punk showed me a couple $400 Mossberg that I liked but don't need. So torn on what to get now. Was looking to spend $200 to $250. But uh...

    When life gives you lemons .... take them. Free Shit is cool.

        Much better choice than an 88

          I've been quite happy with my Wal-Mart 870 Express for many years. Unless there is some special feature of the others (semi-auto, magazine fed, etc) I just can't see why you would spend more money on another pump action.

            Cycle the actions of the 870 and 500 then decide...

                Apparently any that sells guns. Location determine price but they will match the price of a diff Wal-Mart. Have them call the other store.

                  I own both a Mossberg Maverick with a 28" barrel and a late 70s 870 wingmaster.

                  Both 12ga pumps but not the same gun at all.

                  The Mossberg I would take out and not worry about messing it up. The wingmaster is so pretty

                  I haven't shot the Mossberg yet but just based on the weight alone I would expect to feel more of the kick with it vs my 870.

                  Both guns have several aftermarket options if you decide to change the barrel, grips, etc. If your just looking for home defense the mossberg 88 isn't a bad choice.

                      What are you going to use it for????

                      Home Defense ONLY? : The Mossberg will probaly work fine for this.

                      Home Defense/Bird Hunting : Buy a Remington 870

                      Bird Hunting Only : Buy a Good Quality Semi-Automatic (Some people may perfer the over unders, but I like the semi's because after a day of shooting birds, your shoulder won't take a beating.)

                        And if going with a semi, it's a little pricey compared to a pump, but give a hard look at the Browning Silver Hunter.
