Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 Single Shot Rifle

Overview

The rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle offers a versatile training platform for young shooters transitioning from rimfire to small-gauge shotgun. This break-action system combines two interchangeable barrels in one receiver: a .22 Long Rifle barrel for precision target work and a .410 bore barrel for introductory wing shooting or pest control. Designed specifically for smaller frames, the overall weight and stock dimensions allow proper shooting posture without compromising control. The exposed hammer provides visual cocking confirmation, and the manual transfer bar safety prevents accidental discharge. Each barrel locks securely into the same receiver using a single lever release, enabling rapid field conversion without tools.

Features & Specs

Built on Rossi’s durable single-shot action, the rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle delivers consistent performance across both calibers. The 22-inch .22 LR barrel features a 1:16 twist rate for reliable stabilization of standard-velocity and high-velocity ammunition. The 22-inch .410 bore barrel accepts 2.5-inch and 3-inch shells, choked modified for balanced pattern density. Both barrels are blued carbon steel, fitted into a matte black synthetic stock with a 12.5-inch length of pull and a raised comb for proper cheek weld. The overall weight remains under 5.5 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended range sessions.

• Interchangeable barrels: .22 LR (22-inch, 1:16 twist) and .410 bore (22-inch, modified choke, 3-inch chamber)
• Stock dimensions: 12.5-inch length of pull, 1.5-inch drop at comb, synthetic construction with textured grip panels
• Safety system: manual transfer bar with exposed hammer spur, automatic barrel selector upon opening action

The rear sight on the .22 barrel is a fully adjustable open notch, paired with a brass bead front post. The .410 barrel includes a single bead front sight. Both barrels feature a blued finish with matte receiver to reduce glare. The trigger breaks at a consistent 4-5 pounds with minimal creep, suitable for developing trigger discipline. Chamber indicators on each barrel provide visual empty-chamber confirmation.

• Trigger pull: 4-5 pounds, single-stage, with positive reset
• Sights: adjustable rear notch with brass bead front (.22 LR); bead front only (.410)
• Overall length: 36 inches (assembled), 24-inch carrying case included

Who It’s For

This rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle targets young shooters aged 8 to 14, or adults of smaller stature who require a reduced-length stock. The two-barrel system allows instructors to introduce rimfire marksmanship fundamentals before progressing to shotgun patterns without purchasing separate firearms. Parents teaching safe gun handling will appreciate the single-shot action, which enforces deliberate loading and firing discipline. The .22 barrel suits backyard plinking and small-game hunting, while the .410 barrel handles clay targets and upland birds at closer ranges. Law enforcement agencies sometimes use this model for youth safety programs and hunter education courses.

• Ideal for first-time shooters learning sight alignment and trigger control
• Practical for small-game hunting with .22 LR and .410, including rabbits, squirrels, and quail
• Suitable for NRA youth shooting sports and 4-H marksmanship programs
