Save your memebucks for a 500 instead. It's only like 100 more dollars.

Bought it as my first (and currently only) shotgun. On Black Friday for ~$170
It was worth. Neat gun, and fun to shoots. I'm honestly considering getting a second one just because I feel like it's such a deal.
Only with the Black Friday deal. Normally it's like $220
The deal was at dicks sporting goods if you're curious
yea, but I'd suggest looking around at pawnshops and such for a used 500 or 870.
I got my 500, pic related, for $200 a couple years ago

No it's not dumb ass, you can find mav 88 for 100 to 200.
It's actually a really great gun. If you're thinking of getting that or the 500, it's not a bad choice. 500s a bit better quality but you're mostly paying for the name. The 590/590A1 is definitely a quality increase over both though.
Sure.
My first shotgun was a Stevens.
it's okay, but honestly if you're gonna get a cheap 12 gauge pump action shotgun, spend the extra money and get a remington 870 or mossberg 500
>first gun was a yugo SKS at age 16
I feel like a poorfag but at least I upgraded to burgershit way back when I was 21
>>31370756
Mossberg 500's are 250 brand new at Walmart
>>31370756
It was mine and I was happy with it. Still shoot it today plenty.

There's a Mossberg 500 for 300 in my area faggot.
>>31374313
They're 200 where I live
>>31370756
But ya OP you should definitely buy the mossberg 500. They're cheap as shit, customizable to all fuck and reliable as all fuck. Just give it a clean and then oil it when you first get it and you can easily shoot up a whole college campus with it
OP I found my 500 for 160 like last month. Nothing wrong with Maverick but these are around.
