i bought one for my wife to shoot some skeet with. between me and her together we have put close to 500 rounds of 8 shot through it. no problems yet. my advice, buy one, well worth the money.....

wel i am buying a shotgun i was looking at the maverick and mossberg 500 here is what i found the maverick is a 500 the diff is the maverick is a cheaper gun madewith cheaper parts thats what the guy at gander sad they have the mossberg 500 black systhatic for 199.00 the maverick is like 20 bucks less the safty is on the trigger not on the back of the reciever the barrels can be either 500 or the 88from what i have been told the 88 is a good gun just made with cheaper parts my thought at first thought was it was a 500 with a differnt gun so they could sell it cheaper but not from what i was told the guy at gander said for te little extra go with the 500 as that is my plan next friday

I have one. I think I paid something like $170 for it at Wal-Mart. Not the best looking rig out there, but I don't do much bird hunting so when I got it I just wanted something to get me by. That was about 5-6 years ago and I haven't ever had a single problem with it. It's not a bad gun at all. It'll definitely give you more than your money's worth out of it.

"thats what the guy at gander sad", no ofense but that would be enough for me to buy the maverick. I've met a gander mountain associate yet that was worth his/her salary. By the way I have had a maverick for about 10 years now its great!

It's seems to be a decent shotgun for a tight budget. My neighbor owns one, and I've seen him put about 300 rounds through it since Sep with no issues. When I shot it seemed sloppy compared to my Nova and my 870, but it appears to do it's job quite well.
