I don't know about the other 2, but the Baikal is a nice piece for the money.

If you are going to be hunting then any of the three should serve you well, it will come down to what you like best.
If you are going to be shooting a lot of clays, trap, etc then you should probably save your money and find a more durable built gun.

Get the Baikal. It is also sold as the Remington Spartan 310.

It is my favorite shotgun.

I can only speak from experience about the Siver Reserve. It's a great gun for the money and comes with all the chokes you need. I shot mine fortwo waterfowl seasons and shot it a lot. It was in the field a minimum oftwo days a week. I also used it for doves and upland game those sametwo seasons. All I can say, it was a workhorse and never malfunctionedone time. I traded that gun for a NIB Savage 7mm mag and a Marlin 22 LR. The only reason I got rid of it was because of the smoking deal. I would have no problem owning another one.

I'd go with the Mossberg, then again I'd also look at other gun shops and see if someone would order you one. Gander Mt. seems to be pretty proud of their firearms the way they price them.
