This is my third over under shotgun. The mossberg silver reserve ii represents a significant value factor in the combo version. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with not only the transaction through buds, but also the product. The gun points well and having both 12 and 20 gauge is a very nice feature. If you spend much time behind a gun shooting skeet, you'll come to appreciate a light recoil 20 gauge compared to the 12. The triggers on this gun feel as though they are rough/need polished possibly. But again, I knew when I purchased this combo I was buying a beretta combo and also didn't pay beretta prices. I have yet to shoot this at the range but have plans this Sunday. Overall the fit of the gun is acceptable. Again no beretta but wood to metal fit is almost right. The wood almost seems fame only because the finaihung is so perfect on it. The checkering is not hand done it is laser cut and is perfect. Receiver is nice but came with one minor metal blemish on the bottom. This only being noticeable when you feel and look close. The jewleing on the receiver block is decent but uneven in each barrel set. The action is very tight. I am hoping it loosens with use. I purchased this combo with the lifetime warranty through buds. This facet alone made buds the only place I considered for this firearm purchase. Chokes for this gun were included in ok plastic cases. One choke lacks blurring on the end. A couple other chokes have rough threading and were hard to start even when lined properly. I will likely purchase evtended skeet chokes anyways so I'm not overly concerned. As an fyi the 20 gauge takes huglu chokes and the 12 beretta/benelli Mobil chokes. The gun does not come with a hard case and ships secure but in a cardboard box. Kind of a disappointment and oversight by Mossberg. I am sure that many would have been willing to pay a couple bucks more for even a semi decent dedicated case. I chose to go with a plano 36" all weather case for this combo - worth consideration of you make the purchase. The barrels have a simple bead sight and I intend to upgrade to a finer optic for each barrel. Be sure to also purchase some snap caps for one of the gauges in order to release the mechanical triggers when breaking the gun down. The but pad is curved fitting nice but seemingly not giving much for protection against recol. The safety is also a selector - u for under o for over. I will set on u 90% of the time. O only to be used for turkey hunting.
