The Mossberg 500 Super Bantam Field/Deer combo delivers versatility for youth and smaller-framed shooters with dual barrel options and adjustable stock configuration. This 20-gauge platform bridges the gap between field hunting and deer season with purpose-built components.
What Makes This Different
The Super Bantam features an adjustable length-of-pull stock that grows with young hunters, extending from 12" to 13" for proper fit. Unlike fixed youth models that become obsolete, this system adapts to changing needs. The dual-barrel configuration eliminates the need for separate shotguns, while Mossberg's proven 500 action provides reliability across decades of field use.
Key Features
- Dual barrel system: 22" modified choke field barrel and 24" rifled deer barrel
- Adjustable length-of-pull stock (12" to 13" range)
- Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage pattern for concealment
- 20-gauge chambered for 3" shells with reduced recoil
- Ambidextrous top-tang safety for left or right-handed operation
- Dual extractors for reliable shell ejection
- Drilled and tapped receiver for scope mounting
Field performance centers on the quick barrel change system that transitions from upland birds to whitetail deer without tools. The 22" barrel handles dove, quail, and rabbit with standard shot loads, while the 24" rifled barrel delivers slug accuracy for deer hunting. Weather sealing protects internal components during extended outdoor exposure.
