Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 Single Shot Rifle

Overview

The rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is a versatile, two-barrel system designed for entry-level shooters and small-game hunters. Manufactured by Rossi, this firearm combines a .22 Long Rifle barrel and a .410 bore shotgun barrel in a single break-action frame, allowing the user to switch between rimfire and shotgun configurations without purchasing a second gun. The youth-specific stock and reduced length of pull make it suitable for younger or smaller-framed shooters. As a single-shot firearm, it enforces deliberate shot placement and foundational safety habits, making it a preferred choice for teaching new shooters. The compact storage and lightweight construction (approximately 4.5 pounds) facilitate easy transport in a backpack or gun case.

Features & Specs

This rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is built around a break-action design with an exposed hammer and automatic safety engagement when the action is opened. The included .22 LR barrel (16.5 inches) features a 1:16 twist rate optimized for standard-velocity and high-velocity ammunition, while the .410 bore barrel (18.5 inches) accepts 2.5-inch and 3-inch shells. The hardwood stock has a 12-inch length of pull and a raised comb for proper cheek weld with either barrel. The blued steel finish resists corrosion in field conditions, and the rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. The frame is drilled and tapped for scope mounting (base not included).

• Barrel lengths: .22 LR 16.5 inches (1:16 twist), .410 bore 18.5 inches (full choke)
• Overall length: 32.5 inches (both configurations); weight: 4.4 to 4.8 pounds depending on barrel
• Safety: automatic hammer block engages upon opening action; manual hammer half-cock position

Who It’s For

The rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is designed for three primary user groups: new shooters aged 8 to 14 receiving their first firearm, experienced shooters seeking a compact survival or truck gun, and small-game hunters targeting rabbits, squirrels, or upland birds. The .22 LR barrel provides low-recoil practice for marksmanship fundamentals, while the .410 barrel offers a manageable introduction to shotgunning for clay targets or game. The single-shot action eliminates the temptation to rapidly expend ammunition, reinforcing shot discipline. It is also suitable for adult shooters of smaller stature who prefer a short length of pull and reduced weight for hiking or backpacking trips.

• Youth shooters: reduced stock dimensions and low recoil accommodate smaller frames
• Instructors: single-shot design forces focus on sight alignment and trigger control per shot
• Field use: interchangeable barrels expand utility for plinking, pest control, and small game
