For hunters and clay shooters who want the classic elegance of an over/under without the premium price tag, the mossberg silver reserve ii delivers where it counts — in the field, on the range, and in the gun safe. Built on a polished silver-finished receiver with tasteful engraving, this over/under pairs genuine Turkish walnut with solid mechanical fundamentals to produce a shotgun that looks far more expensive than its asking price.
The mossberg silver reserve 12 gauge is chambered for 3-inch shells, giving hunters the flexibility to run light upland loads in the morning and switch to heavier waterfowl rounds in the afternoon — all from the same gun. Back-bored barrels with a ventilated top rib promote clean, consistent patterns while the brass bead front sight aids quick target acquisition on flushing birds and crossing clays alike. The included choke tube set — Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full — covers every hunting scenario right out of the box.
What separates the mossberg over under silver reserve from entry-level competitors is the quality of its mechanical trigger group. The single selective trigger allows instant barrel selection with a simple switch, while the automatic safety resets every time the action is opened — a critical safety feature appreciated by hunters moving through dense cover. Shooters who have spent time with the mossberg silver reserve 2 consistently note the crisp trigger pull and smooth barrel selector as standout features at this price point.
The mossberg silver reserve field variant is purpose-built for hunters who prioritize function and value. Turkish walnut stock and forend with cut checkering provide a secure grip in all conditions, while the satin finish resists moisture without sacrificing the wood’s natural warmth and character. Whether you’re working pointing dogs through CRP fields or calling doves off a sunflower plot, this is a shotgun built to earn its keep season after season.

Key Features
The polished silver alloy receiver features tasteful game scene engraving that gives the Silver Reserve II a classic, upscale aesthetic rarely found at this price tier. Durable, corrosion-resistant, and built to age gracefully through decades of field use.
Genuine Turkish walnut with cut checkering and a satin finish provides a warm, traditional look with practical grip in wet or cold conditions. The wood-to-metal fit is tight and consistent — a benchmark of quality in any over/under at any price.
A single selective trigger with barrel selector allows the shooter to choose top or bottom barrel with a simple thumb switch — no trigger guard fumbling, no second trigger to find. Clean, predictable pull weight with consistent reset on every shot.
Back-bored barrels reduce felt recoil and promote more open, consistent patterns. The ventilated top rib dissipates heat mirage and provides a flat, natural sighting plane — whether you’re breaking 16-yard trap targets or swinging through a flushing rooster.
The tang-mounted automatic safety resets to the safe position every time the action is broken open. A proven, reliable safety mechanism that adds a consistent layer of protection during field hunting without requiring manual re-engagement between shots.
