The Mossberg Silver Reserve Eventide Turkey is a break‑action, over‑and‑under shotgun—its two barrels hinge downward at a top tang to expose the breech for manual loading and unloading. This simple, robust action provides solid lockup, easy single- or double‑shot operation, straightforward maintenance, and reliable extraction/ejection of spent shells, making it well‑suited for close-range turkey hunting where fast, accurate follow-up shots and dependable function are essential.
