The Mossberg maverick 88 is incredible value for the money.

I have one as a dedicated bike gun.

I played with an 88 yesterday. I can't tell that the difference is between the 88 and 500 except for a plastic v. metal trigger guard and crossbolt safety. I do much prefer the tang safety but I don't know if I prefer it $140 more. The 7+1 88 was $229 and the 7+1 500 was 369. Of course I don't think I need a 7+1 but I've never owned a 7+1 shotgun so I thought it would make it different than my 4+1 500.

They did have a magazine fed AK pattern 12ga at Academy for $399 but I don't know if I've ever seen one of those operate correctly at the range. Also had a Savage and Hatfield 12ga pumps there but I don't know anything about those two and I've never seen anybody with one.

They have lower end models that they sell with both a home defense short barrel and a longer hunting barrel.

Or go browse some pawn shops and pick up a cheap 870

Academy has these on-sale for $179 right now. I'm picking one up this afternoon.
