Mossberg 500 Super Bantam 20 Gauge Field/Deer Combo 22"/24" Barrel

The Mossberg 54250 500 Super Bantam delivers full-size performance in a compact platform designed for smaller-framed shooters and youth hunters. This dual-purpose combo provides both field and deer hunting capabilities with interchangeable barrel lengths optimized for different game types.

What Makes This Different

The Super Bantam features a 12-inch length of pull compared to the standard 14-inch adult configuration, reducing felt recoil and improving control for youth and smaller-statured hunters. The adjustable stock system allows the gun to grow with the shooter through removable spacers that extend the length of pull up to 14 inches. This adaptability eliminates the need to purchase multiple firearms as shooting skills develop.

Key Features

• Dual barrel system: 22-inch modified choke barrel for upland birds and 24-inch rifled barrel for deer hunting
• Adjustable 12-14 inch length of pull accommodates growing shooters
• 20 gauge chambering reduces recoil while maintaining effective terminal performance
• Blued steel construction with hardwood stock provides durability in field conditions
• Mossberg's proven pump-action reliability with ambidextrous safety
• Drilled and tapped receiver accepts scope mounts for deer hunting setup
• Compatible with standard Mossberg 500 series accessories and barrels

Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling across various 20-gauge loads from 2¾-inch target loads to 3-inch magnum shells. The rifled deer barrel delivers sub-3-inch groups at 100 yards with quality sabot slugs, while the modified choke field barrel provides effective patterns for upland game at typical hunting ranges. The reduced-length stock configuration decreases muzzle rise during rapid follow-up shots.
