The Mossberg Silver Reserve II 16-gauge delivers the balanced performance and reliability that serious upland hunters and clay shooters demand. This over/under configuration provides the versatility of two barrels with different choke options, making it equally effective on fast-flying doves or challenging sporting clays courses.
What Makes This Different
The Silver Reserve II features a boxlock action with automatic ejectors and a single selective trigger system that allows shooters to choose which barrel fires first. The 28-inch barrel length provides excellent swing characteristics and sight radius for consistent target acquisition. Chrome-lined bores resist corrosion and maintain accuracy through thousands of rounds, while the ventilated rib helps dissipate heat and reduces mirage during extended shooting sessions.
Key Features
- 16-gauge chambered for 2¾" and 3" shells with chrome-lined barrels
- Single selective trigger with barrel selector built into safety
- Automatic ejectors for quick shell removal and faster follow-up shots
- Turkish walnut stock with checkered grip and forend for secure handling
- Ventilated rib with brass bead front sight for quick target acquisition
- Five interchangeable choke tubes included (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, Cylinder, Skeet)
- Silver receiver with light engraving and blued barrel finish
Field testing shows consistent patterns at typical hunting ranges, with the 16-gauge offering less recoil than 12-gauge alternatives while maintaining effective downrange energy. The balanced weight distribution reduces fatigue during long hunting days, while the reliable extraction system performs consistently in wet conditions. Competition shooters appreciate the crisp trigger break and consistent barrel regulation for doubles events.
