Mossberg Silver Reserve II 28 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun with 26" Barrel - Silver Finish

The Mossberg Silver Reserve II 28 gauge over/under shotgun brings refined handling and genuine versatility to upland hunting and clay work. Built on a time-proven platform, this 26-inch barrel model delivers the light recoil and quick target acquisition that makes 28-gauge shooting genuinely enjoyable — whether you're working through thick cover or stepping into the trap house. At 7 pounds, it swings naturally without wearing you down over a long day afield, and the fixed 14-inch length of pull fits most shooters comfortably right out of the box.

This is a gun that rewards straight shooting rather than raw power. The 2.75-inch chamber pairs with the vent rib barrel to help you track targets smoothly, and the single bead sight keeps the sight picture clean and instinctive. The satin black walnut furniture gives the gun a working-gun appearance — no unnecessary bling, just honest wood that handles field conditions without fuss. The matte blue barrel finish resists glare and wears in a way that looks right on a gun meant to be used.

The real convenience lives in the choke system: five field-set tubes ship with the gun, so you can dial in the spread you need for your hunting situation without buying extras or carrying a heavy fixed-choke gun for every scenario. Whether you're threading shot through tight cover or opening up for late-season birds, you've got options. The 43-inch overall length keeps the gun fast in thick country and easy to mount from the ready.

If you've been thinking a 28 gauge is too much of a niche cartridge, this Mossberg proves otherwise. It's a genuine upland gun with the pedigree and the features to back up the concept — not a novelty, but a working tool for hunters who value efficiency and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 28 gauge really practical for hunting, or is it just a specialty gun?

The 28 gauge is a genuine upland choice. It throws less shot than a 20 or 12, but that matters far less than shot placement — and the light recoil and quick handling make good hits easier. It's especially at home in thick cover where you're shooting at close range, and the standard 2.75-inch shells are widely available and affordable. If you hunt upland birds or clay, a 28 makes real sense.

What chokes come with this gun?

Five field-set choke tubes ship with the Silver Reserve II. This means you get a mix of constrictions suited to typical hunting distances. You won't need to buy additional tubes to get started, though you can swap them out if your hunting situation calls for something different.

Will this gun fit me if I'm a smaller-framed shooter or youth?

The 14-inch fixed length of pull works for most standard adult shooters and smaller-frame adults. If you're taller or outside that range, you'll want to handle the gun before committing — length of pull matters for swing and safety, and this one doesn't adjust.

How does the over/under design compare to a side-by-side for upland hunting?

The over/under profile is narrower and faster to mount, and many shooters find it quicker to acquire a target. The Mossberg Silver Reserve II's vent rib design supports that. If you prefer the classic lines or lighter weight of a side-by-side, that's personal — but the over/under excels for clay work and faster-paced field shooting.
