Overview

The Rossi .410 Bore Single Shot Youth Shotgun is a manually operated, break-action firearm chambered in .410 bore with a 3-inch chamber capacity. The overall design prioritizes safety and simplicity, featuring a manual hammer with a visible cocking indicator and a transfer bar safety mechanism. The 22-inch barrel is constructed from blued steel and paired with a hardwood stock finished in a satin lacquer. The stock includes a ventilated rubber recoil pad to reduce felt recoil for younger shooters. The shotgun weighs approximately 5.5 pounds, making it easy to carry during long days in the field or at the range.

Who It’s For

This shotgun is specifically engineered for youth shooters aged 10 to 15, depending on physical build and prior shooting experience. The reduced length of pull and lightweight construction make it suitable for smaller-framed individuals who struggle with full-size shotgun stocks. The .410 bore cartridge produces significantly less recoil than 20 gauge or 12 gauge loads, allowing new shooters to focus on proper form and marksmanship fundamentals without developing a flinch. Experienced adult shooters may also find this platform useful for pest control, snake defense, or as a compact truck gun due to its short overall length. The Rossi .410 Bore Single Shot Youth Shotgun excels in small-game hunting for species such as rabbits, squirrels, and upland birds at close to moderate ranges.

• Ideal for first-time shotgun users, junior hunters, and small-framed shooters
• Suitable for small-game hunting, recreational target shooting, and informal clay busting
• Works well as a secondary firearm for experienced shooters seeking a lightweight, single-shot option
