It weighs in at 7lb and there seems to be a fixing point on the underside of the stock to screw in a sling swivel, which might make sense. Adam’s first thoughts on the gun when he picked it up were that it was light and would be easy to carry around all day if need be. We shot Hull Superfast 29g No 6 cartridges, which is the cartridge I use for most of my live game shooting and is one I know and trust. With this in mind, I thought I’d get the views of gamekeeper Adam Cope, who many of you will recognise from his articles in Sporting Gun.Īdam and I took a walk in the woods at his shoot to look for a pigeon, rabbit or squirrel to test the gun out.
I guess this gun is aimed at shooters who need a ‘no frills’ and reliable gun that they can take around with them in their vehicle and not be too precious about – for example, a gamekeeper. I shoot clays and pigeons regularly, plus the odd game day and my over-and-under is a gun I happily use for all. I’m possibly not this gun’s target audience, though I did enjoy shooting it. It will never replace your game or clay gun, but if you need a reliable tool to keep with you on your rounds as a keeper, or for pigeon shooting or wildfowling, this may suit you. There are sound reasons for owning a Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun, especially if you’re involved in gamekeeping and pest control.
