Mossberg Silver Reserve II Over/Under Configuration

The Mossberg Silver Reserve II Over/Under gives you the features you want in a shotgun for a modest price. This beauty comes in either field or sporting configuration, differing only on the width and height of the ribs as well as the choke tube constrictions. I had the chance to shoot one with the sporting configuration and I easily got comfortable with this shotgun. Learn more about the Mossberg Silver Reserve II Over/Under in this post.
