Description
Built around a pump-action design, the Mossberg 500 Youth Bantam is a compact 20 gauge shotgun for field use and youth-sized setups. It combines a 22 inch vent-rib barrel with a fixed hardwood stock, dual bead sights, and a 3 inch chamber. We see this as a practical fit for shooters who need the dimensions of a youth shotgun without giving up a versatile choke system.

The vent rib gives the barrel a clear reference plane, while the dual bead arrangement keeps the sighting system simple.

The included choke selection lets us configure the shotgun around different field applications supported by the tubes. This right-hand youth shotgun is the Mossberg 500 Bantam.
