I looked at one a while back. They have a pretty solid reputation.
The difference between the Maverick 88 and the 500 is the trigger group and safety location, and that some parts hecho in Mexico.
Around here, new 500s are scarce as hen's teeth and 88s are flying off the shelves as fast as they come in.
I like Winchester 1300 Defenders personally. If you find a used one, buy it! The design has gone to turkey and is now the XSP or something. I think the Chinese knocked them off under the Stevens brand. They're the best shotgun ever built if you ask me. I do have a Mossberg 590A1 ready for action. No firsthand experience with the he Maverick 88, but Mossberg makes a fine shotgun.

The 1300 was a very nice gun. I got to shoot one quite a bit back when they still had skeet shooting off the fantail on cruise ships and was very impressed.
I can't comment on how the current version of the design performs.

I need a 20 gauge auto for waterfowl and dove. A Monty, maybe, if I can find a good deal.
