consumer, especially in the shotgun market. Turkish guns have been a great gift to the U.S. The Gold Reserve is part of a line of over-unders manufactured for Mossberg by Khan Arms in Turkey. There are still plenty of good reasons to select an 1100, but price is not necessarily one of them. (They’re not currently manufactured.) This month’s subject, the Mossberg Gold Reserve Sporting, can be had for $983. The 1100 had a suggested retail of $1,201. That part of the equation ain’t necessarily so these days. More importantly, in a time when the alternate choices were guns like the Beretta 686, Browning Citori or Ruger Red Label, the good old 1100 was a lot cheaper. Parts and accessories were widely available, any local gunsmith worth his salt could work on one, and resale value was assured. It was equally usable, I would say, for any sort of hunting or competitive discipline. My usual response was to direct them toward the Remington 1100. Often, the aspiring shotgunner had their eye on an over-under. I have been asked many, many times to recommend a shotgun for the new shooter.
