Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 Single Shot Rifle

When you are introducing a young shooter to the field, the right firearm makes all the difference. The rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is built exactly for that moment. This is the rifle that many of us wish we had when we were starting out. It gives you two classic calibers in one compact package, allowing a new shooter to learn the fundamentals of marksmanship with minimal recoil and then step up to a light scattergun load for small game or plinking. We have handled a lot of youth models over the years, and this one stands out for its simplicity and versatility.

Overview

This is a break-action single shot rifle that comes with two interchangeable barrels. You get a .22 Long Rifle barrel for low-cost target practice and a .410 bore shotgun barrel for hunting small game or busting clay pigeons. The stock is sized specifically for younger or smaller-framed shooters, with a short length of pull and a raised comb that helps align the eye naturally with the sights. The whole package is lightweight, easy to carry, and simple to clean. Whether you are teaching trigger control or working on a consistent cheek weld, the rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle keeps the focus on the basics.

Features & Specs

Rossi designed this matched pair with the practical needs of a youth shooter in mind. The single shot action is intuitive and safe, requiring the shooter to manually open the breach and load each round. This naturally enforces a slower, more deliberate pace that is perfect for building good habits. The barrels swap quickly with a simple latch, and the manual extractor makes clearing spent shells easy.

• Two interchangeable barrels: one in .22 Long Rifle (18 inch) and one in .410 bore (18.5 inch) with a fixed modified choke.
• Length of pull is 12.5 inches, with an overall weight of approximately 4.6 pounds, making it easy for young shooters to handle and carry.
• Equipped with a manual safety and a visible hammer spur, giving clear indication of the firearm’s ready state.
• Blued steel barrels and a hardwood stock with a satin finish that can handle the bumps and scrapes of a day in the field.
• Adjustable rear sight on the .22 barrel and a brass bead front sight on the .410 barrel for quick target acquisition.

Who It’s For

This firearm is a natural choice for a first rifle. If you have a child, grandchild, or a smaller-framed adult who wants to learn safe gun handling, this is the platform to start with. The .22 LR is nearly recoil-free, which keeps the experience positive and builds confidence. Once they are comfortable, swapping to the .410 barrel opens up opportunities for small game hunting, like squirrel or rabbit, without the harsh kick of a larger shotgun. It is also a great option for an experienced shooter who wants a lightweight camp gun or a truck gun for casual plinking. The rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle bridges the gap between learning and doing, and it does so without costing a fortune.

• Perfect for teaching the fundamentals of marksmanship, safety, and firearm maintenance.
• Ideal for youth shooters ages 10 and up, depending on size and maturity.
• Serves as a dual-purpose tool for both range practice and small game hunting in one package.
