Overview

The Rossi Youth Matched Pair is exactly what it sounds like: a single-shot break-action platform that ships with both a .22 Long Rifle barrel and a .410 bore shotgun barrel. The entire kit includes a synthetic stock, a blued finish, and a simple manual safety. Swapping barrels takes seconds—just open the action, slide out the barrel, and click the other one into place. This design keeps the overall weight low and the learning curve flat. Whether you are introducing a kid to the range or grabbing a quick rabbit for the pot, this rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle gets the job done without fuss.

Features & Specs

Rossi built this gun around the idea of simplicity and adaptability. Here is what you get right out of the box:

• Two interchangeable barrels: one 22-inch .22 LR barrel and one 22-inch .410 bore barrel (chambered for 2.5- and 3-inch shells)
• Break-open single-shot action with an exposed hammer and manual transfer bar safety
• Black synthetic stock with a rubber buttpad, designed for a youth-sized length of pull (about 12 inches)

Additional specs worth noting:

• Overall weight: approximately 5.5 pounds, easy for smaller shooters to handle
• Sights: bead front sight on both barrels; receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting
• Finish: blued steel barrel and receiver for basic corrosion resistance

This rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle runs on zero-fuss mechanics. No magazines to lose, no gas systems to clean, just load, close, cock, and shoot. The .22 barrel is great for cheap practice and squirrel hunting, while the .410 barrel handles snakes, clay birds, and close-range small game.

Who It Is For

This gun is built for young shooters, smaller-framed adults, and anyone who wants a no-nonsense utility gun. The youth stock fits kids roughly ages 8 to 14, but plenty of adults appreciate the compact size for backpacking or keeping behind the seat of a truck. If you are a parent teaching safe gun handling, the single-shot action forces good habits—one shot, then a pause to reload. The combo barrels let you start a beginner on .22 and later move to .410 without buying a second firearm. It also works well for homesteaders or trappers who need a lightweight gun that can handle both small game and pest birds. In short, if you value simplicity, low cost, and versatility, this rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is a solid fit.

• Ideal for first-time shooters and youth shooters learning marksmanship
• Practical for small game hunting, plinking, and pest control
• Great for shooters who want a single firearm for both rimfire and shotgun use
