Mossberg 500 Youth Super Bantam Combo 20ga Shotgun, 22"/24" Barrels, 3" Chamber, Field/Deer

The Mossberg 500 Youth Super Bantam Combo 20-gauge shotgun is built for younger shooters and hunters who need a lighter, more manageable platform without sacrificing versatility. This two-barrel combo setup—with 22" and 24" barrels—lets you switch between field hunting and deer hunting configurations, making it an adaptable choice for kids and smaller-framed adults stepping into shotgun sports. The 3" chamber handles both standard and magnum 20-gauge loads, giving you room to grow into the gun as your shooting progresses.

The adjustable length-of-pull system (12" or 13" via spacer) means the gun grows with the shooter, keeping the stock properly fitted for better control, accuracy, and comfort through multiple seasons. That's a smart feature that extends the useful life of your investment. Weighing just 5.25 pounds, the Super Bantam stays light enough for a young hunter to carry all day without fatigue, while the synthetic stock handles weather and rough field use without complaint.

This combo ships with both barrels: a 22" field barrel with a ventilated rib and ported design for reduced recoil, fitted with interchangeable Accu-Set chokes, and a fully rifled 24" deer slug barrel topped with adjustable rifle sights for accurate slug hunting. Dual bead sights on the field barrel help with wing shooting. The Mossy Oak Obsidian finish keeps the gun working in the woods without drawing attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this shotgun grow with my child as they get bigger?

Yes. The adjustable length-of-pull spacer system lets you set the stock to 12" or 13", so the gun fits properly as your shooter grows. This keeps the gun practical for several years rather than outgrowing it in one season.

What's the difference between the two barrels?

The 22" field barrel has a ventilated rib, ported design, and Accu-Set chokes for wing hunting and clay shooting. The 24" barrel is fully rifled and set up for slug hunting, with adjustable rifle sights for precise aiming at deer. You get two shotguns' worth of capability in one package.

Will this shotgun handle full-power loads?

The 3" chamber accommodates both standard and magnum 20-gauge ammunition, so you have flexibility with load choices. The ported field barrel also helps manage recoil on heavier loads.

Is this suitable for youth hunters with no prior shotgun experience?

It's designed for that role: lightweight, with adjustable fit, moderate recoil thanks to the ported barrel, and dual-purpose barrel setup that covers both upland/clay and deer hunting. It's a practical first shotgun for younger or smaller shooters.
