Customer Reviews for Mossberg & Sons Silver Reserve II Field 12 GA 28" w/Extractors

Bought for skeet shooting. Beautiful gun for the money. The fit and finish at this price point is jaw dropping. Recoil isn’t bad with light loads but can be a little punishing with the hotter stuff. The trigger is a bit heavier than I’d like for a clay gun but I’ve gotten used to that and it isn’t a dealbreaker but something to consider.

For the price this gun is worth it. Good handling nice looking the shell extractors are manual. Being they pop out a quarter way and pull them out by hand. Good bang for the buck

Outstanding shotgun. Bud's did a great job in shipping
it to my FFL dealer. No hitches whatsoever.

This is an excellent shotgun. After I set the gun up, I took it out and went trap shooting. It was everything I expected and more.

Excellent shotgun. Always been a Mossberg fan (mostly the 500s). Bought the Silver Reserve II for desert quail hunting and occasional skeet shooting. Gun is a bit heavy for carrying around compared to my lighter 20 ga options but the gun performs perfect. Overall fit and finish of the gun is great. Did an initial cleaning of the firearm and have put 3 boxes of shells ( 6 shot 1-1/8 oz) quail hunting with no hiccups. Came in a nice hard case with 5 chokes. Did some comparing with other O/U in this price range and loved the fact the Silver Reserve II does not have an automatic safety or inertia triggers. Engraving and jeweling on the gun look great. Would recommend to friends or family in the market for an over under shotgun in this price range.

Received my Silver Reserve II last week and took it out to shoot trap last night. 75 rounds with no issues. I’m extremely happy with it. Hoping to take full advantage of the over/under next week shooting skeet.

Love this gun it’s light wight and easy to carry around the field all day with I bought this gun pacifically for dove and upland hunting. the finish on the barrels itself I would say it’s mid grade but has a nice shine to it the scrolling on the receiver is amazing you can tell it’s done by machine not hand which is what you would expect with an over under at this price The scrolling is nicely done as well and the wood finish adds a nice touch to it I have lagged the gun around for one season in Florida for a Dove season and during the dove hunt we encountered rain and thick brush on are way to the field it’s self and neither rust or scratches were transferred to the gun As far as felt recoil there is little to none however I have not shot anything bigger then a 3” # 5 Turkey load through it so with that being said mainly 2-3/4# 5 & 2-3/4 -7&up The gun is very easy to lead with and I am only 54 so the fit is just right as far as “lop”

Had some misfires shooting skeet out of the box...could blame it on old amo...it is a little stiff opening and closing...sure usage will fix that ...buds always delivers!

First of all, I was very pleased by the efficiency demonstrated by your team in filling my order. In fact this is my third new weapon purchased from Buds and all have been handled in a fast and efficient manner. With regards to my new Mossberg Silver Reserve shotgun I'm very pleased with the quality and finish of the weapon. I've long wanted an over/under shotgun but always found the cost to be prohibitive however finding this shotgun on your web site at a very reasonable rate was a very encouraging. The only concern I have with the gun is it's awfully stiff to open. I took it to my gunsmith who said it would just take time and useage to loosen up a bit. He did say he could do a bit of machining to alleviate the problem but recommended against it as it would shorten the life of the weapon. Thank you again for the excellent service you provide.

Wow!! Once again Bud's did the job for me! This is my second gun purchase from Bud's and both were a truly great experience. Very easy to deal with, email updates on a frequent basis for my order, everything shipped efficiently and completely. I'm very happy with my Mossberg Silver Reserve II. Great gun! I got it just in time for opening day of Dove season here in North Texas and I was VERY HAPPY with my choice of new bird gun! Great Gun! Great Price! Great Service (I got the lifetime warranty) and Great overall experience! I'd highly recommend Bud's to anyone out there looking to purchase a great firearm at a great price!

great gun for the price. have put about 6 boxes of shells through it and not one problem. the trigger has a little take up in it but once you shoot it a few times you don't even notice

Just shot first couple hundred rounds of clays. Shot really well and no problems. Even though it didn't say it in the description it came with 5 different chokes which is something I worried about. Great gun and great price.

I really had a great buy with Budsguns. I am well pleased with my Mossberg Silver reserve 2 field 12ga shotgun . I went out to my local range an did much better than I did with other shotguns

Bought this Mossberg silver reserve 2 about a year ago. I have now put over 2000 rounds through it both hunting and shooting clays. The gun has run extremely well with the only issue being that is has failed to fire twice when I reloaded after only shooting one shell. The fit and finish is great for the price. Chokes come in a carrying case. The action is absolutely rigid when new and takes a great deal of force to brake it open compared to higher priced guns but loosens up after a couple days. Overall a great gun with very few issues and I have not regretted buying it at all, would buy again.

Bought this O/U for trap shooting and I have absolutely no complaints with this shotgun. The engraving and overall finishes are wonderful. The break action is smooth and reloading is simple. This gun has enough weight behind it to absorb some of the recoil but isn't too heavy for extended use. Highly recommend this shotgun.

I am a casual shooter, but I am delighted with the Mossberg Silver Reserve II O/U. It is one of my favorite firearms. The first time I took it to the trap range, I felt like I had been shooting it for years. This O/U swings very nicely, The clays I missed were the fault of the shooter, not the shotgun. Additionally, I seemed to instinctively know if I would dust the clay or miss it entirely. I do not empty the volume of shells that many others do, but I have not experienced any malfunctions with this firearm. It looks more expensive than it is. This appears to be an excellent value. Anyone considering this product should distinguish between reviews for the Silver Reserve and the Silver Reserve II. The Silver Reserve II seems to be a well-made over/under in a price range that many can afford.
