Owners of the Mossberg Silver Reserve in 16 Gauge appreciate finding a mainstream production gun in a bore size that can be hard to source. The 28-inch barrel and satin walnut stock give it the feel of a classic field gun, and many buyers come to it specifically for upland bird hunting where 16 Gauge has a traditional following.

The Silver Reserve draws praise for its wood-to-metal fit at a competitive price, though some owners note the finish quality is not at the level of higher-end Italian over/unders. Trigger pull on the Silver Reserve splits opinions, with some shooters happy with the reset and others finding it stiff out of the box.

One recurring note is that 16 Gauge ammunition is less available on shelves than 12 or 20 Gauge, which prospective buyers factor in. Those who already shoot 16 Gauge tend to be loyal to the bore and find the Silver Reserve a practical and reasonably priced way to stay in it.
