MOSSBERG MAVERICK SHOTGUN

88â„¢ Slug model features a 3" chamber, 6-shot capacity and an interchangeable fully rifled 24" non-ported barrel with adjustable rifle sights. A blued metal finish and a rugged black synthetic stock and forearm are also included.

i have this shotgun and it's a good shotgun. i got it as a b-day gift. i don't shoot much shotgun, maybe once a year if that. it's not a bad shotgun at all though.

my parents are looking at buying it for me for xmas just a shame i will miss gun season

They are basically a mossbeg 500, so yes they are a perfectly fine gun for the price.

You will need a smooth bore barrel for birds and small game though. I stated why in one of your other posts.

Well if your going to already miss gun season get the bird barrel now so you can shoot it. Then get a rifled barrel later when you can afford it and spend the summer finding a good load for it and learning to shoot it well.

Or look for a combo model and get both.
