My limited shotgun knowledge slants more toward over/unders, but when getting ready for a summer of camping in the Idaho backcountry I am thinking a Maverick 88 six shot is the most economical proven no frills 12g pump available unless someone would be so kind as to educate me otherwise.
I like the safety position of the Maverick 88 and the price. It'll be a pure campsite and backcountry gun, so it's not like I'm competition clay shooting thousands of shells a year. And I know the Mossberg has a combo for about $300 locally but the thought of a pistol grip doesn't appeal to me or my wrists.
And if I decided to use it for upland in the future (which I doubt since my folks live on what basically is a pheasant/quail/dove retreat and I have never hunted) a barrel swap and choke set is dirt cheap.
The Remington 870 is, of course, a great option, but I'm thinking bare bones no real accessories dirty camp gun at a price I shouldn't have buyer's remorse.
Yea or nay on a Maverick 88 for my aforementioned usage.
