Not "better". Not worse, though, either. Both are functionally the same gun. Both are identical except for the location of the safety. The 500 is on top where your thumb can trip it....the Mav 88 is on the trigger guard where your finger works it. Neither is "better" unless you just happen to like one location more than the other.

About $200-$275 new depending on how it's set up. Used for around $75-$150. It's almost identical to the Mossberg 500 except for the trigger group/safety. It's a good bang for the buck. Pun intended.

What is the difference between Mossberg 500 and Mossberg Maverick?
The Maverick line is a less expensive line of shotguns starting around $180 to $200. The Mossberg 500 starts at around $300. The Mav 88 is a bit less expensive, but it's not from a lack of quality in any way. The Mav 88 is physically and functionally identical to the Mossy 500 except that Mossberg lowers the price by lowering the cost of production. The Mossy 500 has nice wood and a steel forearm action slide tube, the Mav 88 has a one piece synthetic forearm and no slide tube. The Mossy has a top safety machined into the top of the receiver, where the Mav 88 has the safety made as a part of the trigger guard. The Mossy 500 usually comes with sling swivels, the Mav 88 you have to spend the extra $5 and buy your own. Quality-wise, both are functionally identical and all parts except the Mossy 500 forearm wood can be interchanged. All barrels interchange as do all stocks etc. The Mav 88 is a fine weapon in all regards. It won't let you down.
Is it safe to shoot slug out of mossberg 500 12ga with modified screw in choke?
Yes, but would be better if you put in an improved cylinder choke.

Yes, you can....but the chamber on the 500 barrel is only bored for 3" max shells. You won't be able to fire 3.5" shells through the 500 barrel.
