Maverick 88 Slug 12 Gauge Shotgun 24" Barrel 5+1 Capacity

The Maverick Arms 88 Slug transforms any hunting or tactical scenario with its dedicated slug configuration and precision rifle sights. This pump-action shotgun delivers consistent accuracy at extended ranges while maintaining the reliability Maverick shotguns are known for across law enforcement and sporting applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard field shotguns, the 88 Slug features a cylinder bore barrel specifically optimized for slug ammunition performance. The 24-inch barrel length provides maximum velocity while the integrated rifle sights eliminate guesswork at distances beyond typical shotgun range. This configuration bridges the gap between traditional shotguns and rifle performance for hunters pursuing deer in slug-only zones.

Key Features

• 24-inch cylinder bore barrel optimized for slug accuracy and velocity
• Adjustable rifle sights with front bead and rear notch configuration
• 5+1 capacity with 3-inch chamber handles both 2¾" and 3" shells
• Dual extractors and twin action bars ensure reliable cycling
• Black synthetic stock resists weather and impacts during field use
• Cross-bolt safety located behind trigger guard for intuitive operation
• Blued steel finish provides corrosion resistance in harsh conditions

Field performance centers on the cylinder bore design that stabilizes slugs without the restriction found in choked barrels. The rifle sight system allows precise shot placement at 100+ yards, making this shotgun effective for deer hunting in areas where rifles are prohibited. The synthetic stock maintains zero in temperature extremes while the pump action cycles reliably with various slug weights and manufacturers.
