Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 Single Shot Rifle

The Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is a purpose-built training and field firearm designed for young shooters and smaller-framed adults. This model combines two of the most practical calibers for small game hunting, plinking, and marksmanship development into a single, compact platform. The interchangeable barrel system allows for rapid switching between a .22 Long Rifle barrel and a .410 bore shotgun barrel, providing versatility without requiring a second firearm purchase.

Overview

The rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is engineered with a break-action, single-shot mechanism that promotes safe handling and deliberate shot placement. The barrel system utilizes a simple push-pin release, enabling users to swap barrels in under 30 seconds without tools. The .22 LR barrel delivers precision for target practice and small varmint control, while the .410 barrel offers effective patterns for upland birds, rabbits, and introductory shotgun use. The receiver is constructed from a lightweight alloy, and the stock is fitted with a rubber recoil pad to manage the modest recoil of both calibers.

Features & Specs

• Caliber Interchangeability: Includes a 22-inch .22 Long Rifle barrel with a 1:16 twist rate and a 22-inch .410 bore barrel (3-inch chamber) with a full choke. Barrel swap requires only a push-pin release.
• Youth-Optimized Dimensions: Overall length of 36 inches, barrel length of 22 inches, and a length of pull of 12.5 inches. Unloaded weight is approximately 5.2 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended field use.
• Safety and Sighting: Manual thumb safety located on the tang. The .22 LR barrel includes a fiber-optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation. The .410 barrel features a brass bead front sight. A tapped receiver accepts scope mounts (not included) for optic use.

Additional specifications include a blued carbon steel barrel finish, a hardwood stock with a satin lacquer finish, and a crossbolt safety. The trigger pull is factory-set at approximately 4-5 pounds, and the ejector system is designed to clear spent hulls or cases reliably. The action is compatible with standard velocity and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition, as well as 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 shells.

Who It Is For

This rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is specifically configured for the novice shooter transitioning from air rifles or for experienced marksmen seeking a compact, dual-purpose field gun. The reduced stock dimensions accommodate shooters aged 8 to 14, or adults with shorter stature who prefer a lighter firearm. It suits parents teaching firearm safety and marksmanship fundamentals, as the single-shot action enforces chamber awareness and follow-through. Small game hunters will find the .22 LR barrel effective for squirrels and rabbits, while the .410 barrel handles dove, quail, and clay targets at close to moderate ranges. The toolless barrel swap makes it a practical choice for a single-day hunt where both shot and rimfire scenarios occur.
