Have you seen Mossbergs other offerings, they have set rifle and shotgun development 50 years.

I am not sure what you mean by set:confused: Do you mean set the standard? Raised the bar? Lowered the bar? I have no problem with mossberg in general but I think that the silver reserve was their worst effort so far. Maybe a cheaper o/u will be an improvement:D

The thought of a tupperware O/U for under 400 bucks with the reliability of the Maverick 88 has me drooling. I gots to git me one!

I hope it is a nice normal shotgun at a fair price...mossberg / maverick needs to stop the bleeding it has created with it's recent crap and get back to making quality shotguns for the budget minded consumer.

As far as manufacturing double guns are concerned, I'm afraid it would be a real challenge for any firearms manufacturer to create proper equilibrium in terms of aligning quality with budget.

Should one take into consideration factors such as the availability of gauge specific frames, good fit/finish, overall well balance, well regulated bbls, variable configs i.e. stock type, trigger type, choke type etc - then the only low end newly made guns (read under $1k) that conform to a reasonable standard of acceptance at this time are the ones coming out of factories such as Huglu, Yildiz in Turkey.

IMO, the Silver Reserve, Stevens (not sure who in Turkey builds those - Khan?) haven't met even that minimum quality standard so to speak. I doubt that the new Maverick would be much of an improvement.

That may be so. But if they put a door breacher attachment and a picurtiny rail on it along with a Bayonet and flashlight mount it would sell.

These guy's don't want quality anymore they just want "cheap". And let's face it a cheap O/U is exactly what it is. A cheap O/U.

+1 to a cheap o/u..id buy one, and I would treat it like a truck gun.

A CZ Mallard (Epps sell that around $500 I think) will fit that purpose and it would be a much better finished shotgun with double triggers and therefore, far less prone to mechanical failures.

I am not a Mallard fan, but I agree that it would be less prone to mechanical failure and would be a better candidate for a truck or bogg gun. Since the recent market has shown that there are those who will pay good money for inferior china made crap, there seems to be a race to the bottom of the bucket to suck ever last dollar from those willing to accept cheap. How low will they go, how low will they drop that limbo bar? There may a time soon when turkish made doubles like the mallard will be thought of as mid class.:(
