Mossberg FIELD/DEER’s Dual Barrel System for Versatile Shooting

Deciding on a first shotgun for a young shooter or choosing a compact field gun that can double as a deer setup requires clear priorities: light weight, controllable recoil, and the flexibility to adapt to different loads and missions. As operators who value dependable gear, we look for systems that are simple to maintain, easy to fit to the shooter, and built on proven mechanics.

MOSSBERG 500 YOUTH SUPER BANTAM COMBO FIELD/DEER blends a compact, youth-oriented footprint with the proven toughness of the 500 platform. It comes as a pump-action shotgun with two interchangeable blued barrels and an alloy aluminum receiver, making it a versatile tool for youth hunting, training, and family outings. Shop this product

Key features that matter in the field

We assess gear by how it performs under realistic conditions. The MOSSBERG 500 YOUTH SUPER BANTAM COMBO FIELD/DEER brings several features that address durability, handling, and adaptability:

• Interchangeable blued barrels — Two barrels let the shooter switch between a field profile and a deer profile without needing a second gun. The 22″ vent-rib barrel is optimized for sighting and swing, while the alternate barrel is tailored for heavier, more precise loads.
• Gauge 20 with 3″ chamber — The 20-gauge offers a balance of reduced recoil and effective payload for small- to medium-game hunting and general use. The 3″ chamber allows a broader range of loads, including heavier magnum-style shells if needed.
• Capable capacity — A six-round capacity provides extended time between reloads and suits both training scenarios and field work.
• Accu-Set choke and dual bead sights — Pattern control is critical. The Accu-Set choke system gives the user simple, reliable options for tuning patterns while the dual bead sighting setup is intuitive for new shooters.
• Alloy aluminum receiver and dual action bars — A robust receiver and dual action bars increase longevity and reduce the chance of binding or wobble in the fore-end, translating to consistent cycling under stress.
• Ambidextrous tang safety and sling swivel studs — Safety and carry options are built-in. The tang safety is easy to reach for shooters of varying hand sizes and the studs let you mount a sling for transport.

Why 20 gauge is a practical choice for youth shooters

Fit, control, and the youth-focused design

Fit is critical for building safe, competent shooters. This Mossberg offers an adjustable length of pull (LOP) through a spacer system with choices of 12 or 13 inches, making it straightforward to dial in a comfortable, repeatable mount. The synthetic stock option (available with spacers) trims weight down to about 5.25 pounds overall and keeps the shotgun balanced at a total length of 39.75 inches—manageable dimensions for a youth package.

Handling and reliability under regular use

Dual action bars and extractors are a signature Mossberg advantage; they help ensure consistent extraction and feeding even after extended use in dusty or wet environments. The takedown design also aids in transport and cleaning—two features parents and instructors appreciate when introducing new shooters to maintenance and safety protocols.

Practical applications: training, upland, and deer

Accessories and long-term use

Sling swivel studs make a sling a practical add-on; the synthetic stock paired with the alloy receiver resists seasonal changes and reduces long-term maintenance. Because the 500 series has extensive aftermarket support, owners can tailor the shotgun with parts that match skill progression—upgraded sights, recoil pads, or training modules—without replacing the core platform.
