Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 Single Shot Rifle

The Rossi Youth Matched Pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is a purpose-built training and small-game platform designed for younger shooters or those of smaller stature. This two-in-one system combines a .22 Long Rifle barrel and a .410 bore shotgun barrel on a single receiver, allowing the user to switch between rimfire accuracy and shotshell versatility without purchasing separate firearms. Manufactured by Rossi, this break-action single shot rifle prioritizes simplicity, safety, and lightweight handling for the entry-level or intermediate youth shooter.

Overview

The Rossi Youth Matched Pair is a modular break-action firearm that ships with two interchangeable barrels: a 22-inch .22 Long Rifle barrel and a 22-inch .410 bore shotgun barrel. The receiver is constructed from a steel frame, while the stock and forend are made from hardwood with a satin finish. The gun features an exposed hammer with a manual safety half-cock notch, a standard bead front sight on the .410 barrel, and a blade front sight with an adjustable rear sight on the .22 barrel. Overall length is 36.5 inches with either barrel installed, and the unloaded weight is approximately 5.5 pounds. The trigger pull is factory-set at a consistent 4.5 to 5.5 pounds, suitable for developing proper trigger control.

Features & Specs

• Barrel System: Interchangeable 22-inch barrels for .22 Long Rifle and .410 bore (2.5-inch and 3-inch shells). Both barrels are blued carbon steel with a matte finish. The .22 barrel uses a 1:16 twist rate; the .410 barrel uses a full choke pattern.
• Action & Safety: Break-open single shot action with an automatic ejector that lifts the spent case or shell for manual removal. Manual hammer with half-cock safety position. No manual trigger-block safety is present; the half-cock notch serves as the primary safety mechanism.
• Stock & Ergonomics: One-piece hardwood stock with a 12.5-inch length of pull, designed for shooters with a smaller frame. The comb height is optimized for use with iron sights. Rubber recoil pad reduces felt recoil from the .410 loads.
• Sights: .22 barrel: adjustable rear sight (windage and elevation) with a blade front sight. .410 barrel: brass bead front sight only. Receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting (scope base not included).
• Overall Specifications: Overall length: 36.5 inches. Barrel length: 22 inches (both). Weight: 5.5 pounds (unloaded). Finish: Blued steel. Stock: Hardwood with satin lacquer. Capacity: 1 round.

Who It’s For

This Rossi youth matched pair 22 / .410 single shot rifle is engineered for new shooters aged 8 to 14, or for adults of smaller stature who prefer a compact, lightweight firearm. The .22 barrel serves as an ideal training tool for learning sight alignment, trigger squeeze, and follow-through, with negligible recoil and low per-round cost. The .410 barrel transitions the shooter to shotgunning for small game hunting (squirrel, rabbit, dove) or pest control. The single shot action enforces deliberate shot placement and reduces the risk of rapid, uncontrolled follow-up shots. Due to the short length of pull and low weight, this rifle is also suitable for backpacking, camp guns, or survival kits where portability is critical.
