Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 Single Shot Rifle

The Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is a purpose-built, two-in-one firearm designed for introducing younger shooters to the fundamentals of marksmanship and small-game hunting. This versatile platform combines a .22 Long Rifle barrel and a .410 bore shotgun barrel in a single, break-action receiver, offering an economical and space-efficient solution for training and field use. The .22 LR barrel is ideal for low-recoil target practice and small varmints, while the .410 barrel provides reliable patterns for upland birds or pest control. Each barrel is cold hammer-forged for accuracy and durability, and the receiver features a manual hammer block safety for secure handling. The lightweight, compact synthetic stock is sized specifically for youth shooters, with a shorter length of pull and a raised comb to align the eye naturally with the sights.

Overview

The Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is manufactured by Rossi, a brand recognized for producing affordable, reliable firearms for entry-level and recreational shooters. This model is classified under rifles but functions as a convertible system. The break-action design allows for quick barrel changes without tools, making it easy to switch between calibers in the field. The .22 LR barrel delivers consistent accuracy at standard rimfire distances, while the .410 barrel, choked modified, provides effective patterns for shot loads. The overall weight of the firearm with either barrel installed is approximately 4.5 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended sessions. The synthetic stock resists moisture and impact, ensuring longevity in varied environments.

Features & Specs

• Caliber Compatibility: Includes one .22 Long Rifle barrel (16-inch) and one .410 bore barrel (18.5-inch, 3-inch chamber). Both barrels are interchangeable on the same receiver.
• Youth-Specific Dimensions: Length of pull measures 12.5 inches, with a 1-inch drop at comb and a 2-inch drop at heel. Overall length is 32.5 inches in .22 configuration and 35 inches in .410 configuration.
• Safety and Operation: Manual hammer block safety engages automatically when the hammer is lowered. The break-action lever is located at the top rear of the receiver, requiring deliberate effort to open. The trigger pull is factory-set at approximately 5 pounds.
• Sights and Accuracy: The .22 LR barrel is equipped with a bead front sight and a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation. The .410 barrel features a single bead front sight. Both barrels are button-rifled or smoothbore per caliber, with a 1:16 twist rate on the .22 barrel.

Who It’s For

This firearm is designed for young or smaller-framed shooters aged 10 and up, under direct adult supervision. It is appropriate for first-time firearm owners, junior hunters completing a hunter education course, or families seeking a single firearm capable of teaching both rifle and shotgun skills. The Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is well-suited for target shooting at ranges up to 50 yards with the .22 barrel and for close-range wing shooting or small game hunting with the .410 barrel. The interchangeable barrels eliminate the need for two separate guns, reducing cost and storage requirements. This model is not recommended for self-defense or high-volume tactical applications due to its single-shot action and youth-oriented stock dimensions.
