 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a Mossberg Maverick 88 security model 12-gauge shotgun that holds a total of eight rounds and that's what I have in there now seven in the magazine tube and One in the chamber. It does have a cross bolt safety right here That's in front of the trigger guard that is currently engaged But you may notice this is a flat dark earth model. It's new from Mossberg and they call this a working man's gun because the NSRP on this is 245 and shooters were picking this up for around 200 bucks and that is a Steel and that is for the single barrel. They also have Barrel combinations with an 18 and a half and a 28 inch barrel that could be switched out and that one's obviously a little bit More but they are interchangeable the barrels are interchangeable with the Mossberg 500 models, but you can see there. It does have a barrel clamp a bead front sight corn cob fore-end and then the stock has a 14 and a half inch length of pull and a Skeletonized rubber pad an aluminum receiver and the overall weight on this is six and a half pounds But they review very well and people love the Mossberg Maverick 88 Because it's a working man's gun. It's it's priced so that Just about anybody could afford it But I'm going to disengage the safety there. I've got some target loads in here I'm gonna run quite a few different types of loads through this to check out the reliability But I just picked this up And I'm happy to have it especially in flat dark earth. I think that looks pretty cool But let's see how these target loads run And there we go No problem. I Have some Remington express number four Bird loads and then we're gonna run some high-velocity loads in there as well as slugs But so far Thumbs up to the Maverick 88. I like the capacity this I already mentioned It has the 20 inch barrel and the magazine tube that holds Seven rounds. They also have the 18 and a half inch barrel with the magazine tube that holds Six rounds in the tube. And so I'm happy to have this with the eight round capacity total Let's go ahead and load up some of those heavier loads Let's run these two loads right now first is the Fioki seven and a half shot high-velocity bird loads and The Remington express number four shot both two or three quarters. Both are traveling at 1330 feet per second. I'm gonna load up the Remington express first. I want to show you though It does not have a loading gate and I wasn't sure if that would be an advantage or a disadvantage But it's kind of nice Just fire those loads in there rather quickly. I'm loading up to Remington first So that will be the last four shots that I fire and over here is The Fioki seven and a half shot and that will be the first four shots fired Now I've got seven in the tube now the forehead releases right here. It's a little lever Not sure there it is And so I'm going to go ahead and chamber around And then put that last one in there for eight shots total And then we'll take off that cross bolt safety Ready All right the Remington express So far the Maverick 88 is pumping. It's shooting and I like that capacity A lot of people love this shotgun and I am understanding why I've checked them out before but I never shot a Mossberg Maverick 88 and this really is a working man's gun But I've got something here that is a little more powerful actually very much more powerful, and it's not slugs It's three inch turkey loads. All right. Here. We have Remington nitro turkey. It's a four shot That's a three inch load and the magazine tube holds six rounds of The three inch loads These turkey loads Are tough and they hit hard. Let me go ahead and load the first round I'm really happy it has a Sculptinized rubber recoil pad because this stuff is powerful. Let's go ahead and fire it But the Maverick 88 handled it no problem Pretty impressed I have to say But I told you I was going to run some loads through it and the only thing that I have not run so far our Slugs All right. Here. We have Hornady one ounce rifle slugs Two and three-quarter inch and that's what we're looking at. I Painted my target to the right orange. That's some of the feedback I've gotten guys say, you know, hey, why don't you shoot slugs? Why don't you paint your targets? Well, I'm doing both of that right now. I did back the camera up a little bit So let's see how it goes Load the first one One ounce slugs Target on the right Man, I wish you could see what I see. I don't think you can but that hit dead nuts center Let's go ahead and My shoulder is on fire which explains that last flinch Yeah, I flinch It's 28 degrees out here. I can warm my fingers up my numb fingers On the barrel, but the Mossberg Maverick 88 security model is getting it done with all the loads that I've checked out so far and I'm feeling it guys So there it is Mossberg Maverick 88 security model in flat dark earth. I'm really happy I went with the 20-inch barrel with the seven round magazine tube, but check it out guys Mossberg Maverick 88 security model I'm going to do some more work with this shotgun in the future If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
