Mossberg Silver Reserve Bantam 20ga 26in Youth Shotgun

Mossberg Silver Reserve Bantam: Youth-Sized Excellence
The Mossberg Silver Reserve Bantam brings genuine double-gun refinement to a youth-friendly platform. This is not a toy—it's a serious over-and-under shotgun built to the same standards as its full-size counterparts, simply scaled for smaller hands and frames.
Design and Construction
The break-action design is intuitive and safe. The receiver features satin silver engraving with Mossberg's logo, lending a touch of elegance without unnecessary ornamentation. The fixed black walnut stock is properly finished and dimensioned for a 13.25-inch length of pull—ideal for younger shooters or those with a more compact build.

- Chamber: 3 inches (accepts both 2.75-inch and 3-inch loads)
- Barrel Length: 26 inches with ventilated rib
- Finish: Matte blue barrel with satin walnut furniture
- Ejection: Extractors (shells are lifted from the chamber for easy removal)

Versatility
The Silver Reserve Bantam handles upland hunting, clay target shooting, and 5-Stand competition with equal competence. The included five-piece Field choke set provides the flexibility to adjust your pattern for different distances and game.
The Bottom Line
