I've been looking everywhere I know to look but have never seen one anywhere but in older Mossberg ad's. Talked with Mossberg and found they quit making them in 2014. Would like to find a Mossberg Silver Reserve SXS (side by side) in 28 ga... Sorry I couldn't figure out how to use the classified section on here.

Are you sure there is such a critter? Not ever having seen a Mossberg side by side, I went looking for information. I cannot turn up anything that suggests Mossberg ever made the Silver Reserve in side by side configuration.
Wouldn't a Huglu badged one be the same thing or maybe even better? I converted the metric to inches and it is just under 14.5 inch LOP and comes with 25.7 and 28 inch barrels. Full 2 year warranty on new gun. See below. Good luck!
No doubt, tthe SXS's must be kind'f rare. GunsAmerica sold one, a while back, in 12ga. item# 951164839, and have seen where others have been sold, just none for sale.. . Just found a buying guide for the Mossberg Silver Reserve from "THE CLAY BIRD" it says available in 5 models, Field, Bantam, Sport, Combo (comes with 2 barrels & thinking for the O/U only), and the side by side.
Finally found & bought a deal on a new Weatherby Orion 28 ga. SXS. Without seeing one, just reading ad's, descriptions, features, and reviews. Biggest mistake I've ever made in buying a shotgun. Nobody around me had one. Could, and Should, have looked at an Orion O/U, at Bass Pro in Nashville, It for sure, would have showed me enough to know I didn't want one. It looks like a toy. Its choke tubes sticking appx. 1/2" out the end of the barrels with blue, plastic looking rings, on the ends, all metal on gun is, they call it matt blue, to me looks flat grey with a greenish tint, just not what I's expecting. I's concerned about the English (straight) grip stock, as I've never had one, and now know why, it just doesn't fit me, there's not enough drop on the stock, I've got to put the bottom point of the butt plate in my shoulder to see straight down the top of the barrels. I never realized they made a SXS without auto safety's but this one doesn't have one, have learned since I got it, it's not as rare in skeet guns, but I've never had one & if I've seen one I just never noticed. Not sure why, but this Orion with 28" barrels while all my other SXS's have 26" barrels, this Orion stands 4 1/2" taller in my gun case than any of the other SXS's. Got to measuring and this gun is 2" longer from the butt plate to the barrels though the length of pull is appx. the same as others. Have read bunches of pos. reviews, and everybody's got the right to their own opinion, but for me, my opinion, the worst purchase I've made.. Not that all is neg. the wood really looks nice.... Would still be interested in a Mossberg Silver Reserve or Silver reserve 2 SXS in 28 ga.
I looked at an Orion SxS 20ga. Looked like it would be nice and light, I actually thought it was a 28ga, wrong. Weighed twice as much as it should for a 20ga. I also had the same issue with the straight stock. Hard pass.
