I bought my Daughter the Rossi Youth Gun with the 3 barrel combinations in:

.243 center fire
22 LR rim fire
20 Gauge shotgun

All these had the shorter barrels and stock for the Youths to use,the 22 LR worked out great and had the fiber optics on the front and back sights.I put a weaver mount on it and a TroGlo red dot scope.

The .243 barrel had open sights and Ialso puta weaver mount and red dot scope on it too.It shot really well even with the shorter barrel and had a little kick to it.

The 20 gauge barrel was short and usesthe 3 inch 20 gauge shells,I left it with the small round bead on the front of the barrel and used the 3 inch shells in 6-shot turkey loads and after 3 times of shooting it to see what pattern it had I had one heck of a bruised shoulder....and I'm 195 lbs worth of back stop and that short barreled 20 gauge had some serious kick to it...more than my old long barrel mossberg 20 gauge even!

The Rossi Gun came with a nice black bag to carry the different barrels in it and a neat shoulder strap for carrying,the wood stock has mounts on it for a shoulder strap and the barrels only take a few minutes to change out to a different caliber barrel.


NEF New England Firearms also has a nice looking Youth Gun also.
