What’s Included
- Mossberg 500 Super Bantam All-Purpose 20 Gauge shotgun
Compact dimensions set this 20 gauge apart. A 12.75" length of pull and EZ-Reach forend give young hunters or shooters with shorter arms a natural, balanced fit that promotes solid gun-mounting and recoil control.
The 22" carbon-steel barrel wears a ventilated rib to keep the sight picture clear and cool, and it is factory-threaded to accept Mossberg Accu-Set choke tubes for quick pattern tuning from upland birds to clay targets.
Dual bead sights—white front and brass mid—deliver a simple, intuitive alignment system that many wing-shooters prefer. Combined with the crisp gold-anodized trigger, they help translate fast targets into downed birds.
A matte-blued finish on both barrel and receiver resists glare and corrosion, while the black synthetic stock features a ventilated recoil pad to further soften 20 gauge kick. Dual action bars and a proven tang safety maintain the reliability that has made the 500 series a mainstay for decades.
Built in the USA and sharing parts compatibility with standard 500 models, this Super Bantam offers easy upgrades as the shooter grows—making it a practical first shotgun that won’t be quickly outgrown.
