Yes youth and or compact are just shorter lop and barrels. They are now.calling them.compact because of more female shooters need the shorter lop and don't like them called youth. So compact fits them more so they don't think they have a kids gun. Just was marketing way to sell more. Even remington changed the model seven youth to the model seven compact same rifle different name.
