The Mossberg Gold Reserve 75473 delivers premium over/under performance with traditional craftsmanship and modern reliability. This 12-gauge shotgun combines elegant aesthetics with functional design for serious sporting applications. Built with a 30-inch polished blued barrel system, it provides the extended sight radius and smooth swing characteristics demanded by competitive shooters and upland hunters.
What Makes This Different
The Gold Reserve series represents Mossberg's commitment to traditional over/under construction with contemporary manufacturing precision. Unlike basic field guns, this model features hand-engraved metalwork and premium wood finishing that rivals shotguns costing significantly more. The 3-inch chamber capability handles everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl rounds, while the selective trigger system allows shooters to choose barrel sequence.
Key Features
- 30-inch polished blued barrels with 3-inch chamber capacity for versatile load options
- Hand-engraved polished black metal finish with traditional scroll work
- Grade A+ satin black walnut stock with 14.25-inch length of pull
- Selective single trigger with barrel selection capability
- Automatic ejectors for rapid shell extraction during competition
- Ventilated rib with brass bead front sight for quick target acquisition
- Chrome-lined bores resist corrosion and maintain accuracy over time
Field performance centers on the extended barrel length providing superior balance and reduced muzzle jump. The 30-inch tubes excel in sporting clays, trap shooting, and upland bird hunting where longer shots are common. Chrome-lined bores maintain consistent patterns through thousands of rounds while resisting fouling from modern ammunition. The selective trigger system allows tactical barrel choice for doubles in clay sports or mixed hunting scenarios.
