Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 Single Shot Rifle

Introducing a classic training tool that has introduced countless young shooters to the field: the Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle. This versatile combination gun gives new hunters and target shooters two capable barrels in one compact, affordable package. Whether you are teaching safe firearm handling for the first time or simply want a lightweight gun for small game, this matched pair delivers exactly what it promises without unnecessary frills.

Overview

The Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is exactly what it sounds like: a break-action single shot that comes with two interchangeable barrels. One barrel is chambered in .22 Long Rifle, ideal for plinking, small game, and building marksmanship fundamentals. The other barrel is a .410 bore shotgun perfect for upland birds, rabbits, and introducing young hunters to wing shooting. The whole setup weighs just over five pounds, with a compact 20-inch barrel and a short length of pull designed specifically for smaller shooters. You get a reliable, no-nonsense firearm that grows with a young shooter from rimfire basics to shotgun hunting.

Features & Specs

This rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is built with a simple break-open action that is easy for young hands to operate and even easier for adults to supervise. The barrels swap quickly with a single screw, and the stock is fitted with a soft rubber recoil pad to keep the .410 comfortable. The manual safety is a visible hammer half-cock notch, reinforcing good safety habits every time the gun is handled.

• Two 20-inch barrels included: .22 Long Rifle and .410 bore (3-inch chamber)
• Break-open action with automatic ejector for quick reloading
• Adjustable rear sight on the .22 barrel; brass bead front sight on both barrels
• Hardwood stock with a length of pull of 12.5 inches, ideal for youth and smaller-framed shooters
• Overall weight of approximately 5.3 pounds for easy carry in the field

While the .22 barrel is perfect for affordable target practice, the .410 barrel opens up opportunities for young hunters to pursue game with a light, manageable shotgun. The single shot design encourages deliberate, accurate shooting rather than rapid fire, which is a huge plus for developing good habits.

Who It’s For

This rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is built for the next generation of shooters. It is an excellent first gun for a child or teenager who is ready to move beyond a BB gun but not ready for a full-size rifle or shotgun. Parents appreciate the safety features and the fact that one gun covers two popular calibers. It is also a smart choice for adults who want a compact, lightweight survival gun or a truck gun for small game. The versatility of having both a rimfire and a shotgun in one package means you can grab one case and head to the range or the field without deciding which gun to bring.

• First-time shooters age 8 to 15 who need a properly sized firearm
• Parents looking for a safe, supervised introduction to hunting and target shooting
• Small game hunters who want a single gun for squirrels, rabbits, and birds
• Experienced shooters who appreciate a lightweight, utilitarian backup gun

The matched pair design eliminates the need to purchase two separate youth guns, saving space in the safe and money in your pocket. The .22 barrel will cycle most standard velocity and high velocity ammunition reliably, while the .410 barrel patterns well with standard field loads.
