Product Overview

The Mossberg M88 Pump Bantam Youth Shotgun in 20-gauge is purpose-built for young shooters and smaller-framed hunters stepping into shotgun sports. This 20-gauge pump gun delivers the reliable, straightforward operation Mossberg is known for—perfect for introducing kids to clay shooting, small-game hunting, or learning solid shotgun fundamentals without the recoil penalty of a 12-gauge. The compact 13-inch length of pull fits youth frames naturally, and the lightweight build makes it easy for younger hands to mount, swing, and control.

Built on Mossberg's proven pump-action platform, the M88 cycles smoothly and locks up tight. The 22-inch barrel keeps the gun nimble in the field or around the range, while the ventilated rib and bead sight give you a clean sight picture for fast target acquisition. The fixed Modified choke balances versatility across shot types—useful whether you're working close-range upland birds or practicing at the trap field. Black synthetic furniture is durable, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance; it won't absorb water or require finishing fuss.

With a 6-round capacity and 3-inch chamber, this 20-gauge handles both standard and magnum loads, giving you flexibility for different hunting and sport-shooting scenarios. At just 5.25 pounds, it's light enough for a young shooter to carry all day without fatigue. The M88 is the kind of gun that builds confidence and solid technique—and it stays relevant as your kid grows into hunting and competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the M88 Bantam a good youth shotgun for a beginner?

Yes. The 13-inch length of pull and lightweight design make it comfortable and manageable for younger shooters. The 20-gauge is easier to handle than a 12-gauge while still delivering reliable performance for learning and sport shooting.

What kind of ammunition does this shotgun take?

The M88 has a 3-inch chamber, so it accepts both standard 20-gauge loads and magnum 20-gauge ammunition. You're not locked into one type.

Can the choke be changed?

The M88 comes with a fixed Modified choke; it cannot be swapped out.

What's the gun designed for—hunting or sport shooting?

The M88 Bantam is versatile. The Modified choke and compact barrel make it at home in field hunting for upland birds and small game, and it's equally suitable for clay-target practice and youth shotgun sports.
