Don’t forgot the available upgrades for the maverick will offer similar performance as a equivalent impact. Tungsten hammer spring, heavy liner, and slug power kit should considerably up your performance. The Maverick is very capable of higher power levels. If you want to shoot the 40 grain slugs well in .22 you will need a 800 mm barrel for the best performance.Words to live by right there.
Wouldn't mind being able to shoot heavier slugs so seems that favors the M3. I think there is enough doubt here to justify another rifle.
