Walked in for a Winchester 20 walked out with Maverick 88 12

I was gonna get the Winchester I’ve been eyeing but the dealer was not encouraging because it was 20 gauge. They didn’t even have ammo for it (they said they could prob order it) so I decided to get a maverick 88 after a quick reddit convinced me of its legitness. People said it’s a good shotgun for the money. Paid $400 after all the fees and taxes in California. I wasn’t sure what version to get but the folded stock reminded me so much of Jurassic park so I had to. I have to name this shotgun “clever girl” now.

That was my first shotgun. I got it solely to pretend to be hunting raptors on my family's property. The folding stock is a bit annoying at times, but the gun itself wont let you down.

88s are great value and you can't beat a 12g pump for versatility. Every household should have at least one, the same way you might have a first aid kit or fire extinguisher. An excellent tool for many scenarios.

Excited to pick mine up in a couple weeks. They make us wait!

Congratulations! Start stocking up on ammo now, and if you can, go somewhere outdoors with a friend who knows what they're doing to shoot it the first time. Way better than an indoor range. Lots of public land out west, probably won't be hard to find a relatively local spot.

Home defense Maverick 88 field and security version.
Magpul front end with the mlok holds the harbor freight special well.
For this option you'll need a Mossberg 500 tube and nut.
My 88 is a blast.

VallettaAwoo@reddit

Right on. I’m gonna try and get a flashlight too. It’ll be a good home defense gun
