This week we're taking closer look at the Gold Reserve Black Label from Mossberg International. A workhorse of an over/under, the shotgun boasts a smooth break, shell ejectors and an extended choke set. As with any good over/under, of course, its form is as eye-catching as its function. Ornate yet understated scrolling adorns the polished black receiver, which is set in a Grade A Satin Black Walnut Stock. The barrels are polished blue, with upper and middle vent ribs.
