Mossberg Silver Reserve II Field Over/Under Shotgun

Description

The Mossberg Silver Reserve II Field Over/Under With Ejector 12 Ga 3″ Chamber 28″ Blued Barrel Silver Receiver Black Walnut Stock is a classic, reliable over/under shotgun designed for upland game and clay sports. It offers a traditional break-action design with automatic ejectors, a crisp single trigger, and a handsome silver-finished receiver paired with a durable black walnut stock for a balance of performance and aesthetics at an accessible price point.

Key Features

• Automatic Ejectors: Spent shells are positively ejected when the action is opened, speeding up reloads in the field or on the sporting clays range.
• Single Selective Trigger: A mechanical trigger allows you to select which barrel fires first—ideal for pairing a tighter modified choke with a more open improved cylinder.
• Silver Nitride Receiver: The bright, corrosion-resistant finish provides a classic look and stands up to the elements during long days afield.
• Black Walnut Stock: Features a durable oil finish and a classic field stock with a moderate pistol grip for a secure, traditional hold.
• Choke Tube System: Comes equipped with interchangeable choke tubes (typically Improved Cylinder and Modified), giving you versatility for different game and target distances.

Weighing in at approximately 7.5 pounds, the 28″ barrel provides a smooth swing for tracking crossing shots on pheasants or clays. The 3″ chamber handles everything from light 2 3/4″ target loads to heavier 3″ magnums for waterfowl or turkey, though its balance is best suited for upland hunting. The mechanical trigger and ejectors are robust systems that require no gunsmithing for routine use and maintenance. This shotgun is a solid choice for the hunter who appreciates a classic two-barrel design without the custom shop price tag, coming in at $621.52.

Who This Shotgun Is For

This is the workhorse over/under for the Missouri wingshooter moving up from a pump or autoloader. When you’re walking CRP fields for quail or stationed in a dove line, the simplicity and pointability of an over/under become clear. It’s also a perfect entry into clay sports—reliable enough for weekend skeet or sporting clays without worrying about abusing a high-end competition gun. The Silver Reserve II fits out of the box for most average-sized shooters, offering a ready-to-hunt platform.

Pros & Cons

Pros: The classic over/under format offers instant barrel selection and inherent safety when broken open. Automatic ejectors are a significant step up from extractors for fast reloading. The single selective trigger is crisp and consistent. The combination of the silver receiver and walnut stock delivers classic good looks that won’t look out of place in any blind or field.

Cons: As an entry-level over/under, it lacks some of the refined fit and hand-polished mechanics of guns costing three times as much. The stock dimensions are standard, so shooters with very long or short arms may need adjustment. It’s a dedicated hunting and casual clay tool, not a high-volume competition gun built for 50,000 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What chokes does it come with?

A: It typically includes two choke tubes—often Improved Cylinder and Modified—which cover a wide range of hunting and clay target scenarios. The choke system is compatible with Mossberg’s Accu-Choke threads, the same pattern used on many of their 500 and 930 series shotguns, so aftermarket tubes are readily available.

Q: Is it suitable for waterfowl hunting?

A: It can be, provided you use non-toxic shot and appropriate chokes. The 3″ chamber handles standard steel loads. That said, its silver finish and walnut stock require more diligent cleaning and protection from moisture and salt than a dedicated, camo-coated synthetic waterfowl gun.

Q: Does it have a safety?

A: Yes, it features a traditional tang-mounted safety, which is intuitive to use with your thumb as you mount the gun. The safety is manual and does not automatically re-engage when the action is opened.
