FAQ
Is the Mossberg Gold Reserve 20 Gauge 30in Over/Under suitable for youth shooters?
Yes. The 20-gauge chamber produces less recoil than 12-gauge models, and the 6.5-pound weight is manageable for younger shooters. The extended sport chokes also let you tailor the pattern for closer-range targets, which helps build confidence.
What chokes come with this shotgun?
It includes five extended sport chokes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Skeet. These cover everything from trap to upland birds.
Does this model have ejectors or extractors?
It has shell ejectors, which automatically kick out spent hulls when the action is opened. This speeds up reloading for follow-up shots on the range or in the field.
Can I use steel shot with this shotgun?
Yes, the 30-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber are rated for steel shot, but always check the choke markings. The included extended chokes are steel-shot compatible with appropriate loads.
