Youth Model definition

Post by Big Mike »

Exactly what is the definition of a "Youth Model" I am guessing a shorter stock ? I was searching for something inexpensive just to knock around in the woods with. The Rossi 20ga/22Lr combo looked interesting for rabbit & squirrel hunting, but is advertised as a Youth model, would it be awkward for an adult to use? Not sure what youth model means? Also , this gun is on "sale" at Dunhams for $199.00 , is that a fair price ? Thank you in advance for any input.

Usually it's the Stock ( Butt or Fore arm ) and the Rossi 20/22 Lr Youth Model shouldn't cost to much more then the Adult Model. jma

I've carried a Wingmaster 20ga. with a sling for years when hunting rabbits, hare, and deer. Stock is shorter and the weight of the gun less. Nice gun for when I'm handling the dogs.
