Getting a kid set up for their first turkey season usually means one of two problems: a full-size gun they can't shoulder properly, or a cheap youth gun they outgrow in a year. The Mossberg 500 Super Bantam Turkey solves both. The stock starts at a short 12 inch length of pull, a full inch shorter than the standard Bantam, and the included spacer bumps it to 13 inches when your hunter grows into it. Down the road, the receiver accepts full-size 500 stocks, so this can stay in the family for a long time.
Mossberg didn't just chop the stock and call it a day. The Super Bantam gets a smaller grip for easier trigger reach and a shorter forend position so smaller arms can run the pump without stretching. At 5.25 pounds with a 22 inch vent rib barrel, it carries easy and swings quick in the turkey woods. Underneath the compact fit is the same action that's made the 500 a workhorse for decades: dual extractors, twin action bars, steel-to-steel lockup, and an anti-jam elevator. The tang-mounted safety sits right under the thumb and works the same for lefties and righties, which matters more than people think when you're teaching a new hunter.
This one comes dressed head to toe in Mossy Oak Obsession, a pattern made for blending into spring foliage. The adjustable fiber optic front sight is quick to pick up in low light, and the included X-Full turkey choke keeps patterns tight out to realistic gobbler distances. The 3 inch chamber handles stout turkey loads when you need them, but the 20 gauge platform keeps recoil manageable enough that a young hunter won't develop a flinch. It holds 5+1 with 2.75 inch shells, and the Accu-Choke threading means you can swap tubes and run it for squirrels or doves once turkey season wraps up. Plenty of parents buy this as a first serious hunting gun, and plenty of smaller-framed adults quietly keep one for themselves.
The 12 inch length of pull fits most kids in roughly the 8 to 12 range, and the included spacer stretches it to 13 inches as they grow. It also works well for smaller-framed adults who find standard shotguns too long. Since the receiver accepts full-size 500 stocks, the gun can transition to an adult fit later on.
Yes, it has a 3 inch chamber and runs both 2.75 and 3 inch shells. Keep in mind that at 5.25 pounds, magnum turkey loads will have some kick, so many folks pattern with lighter loads and save the heavy stuff for the hunt. Modern 20 gauge TSS loads pair really well with this gun and keep recoil reasonable.
Absolutely. The barrel uses Mossberg's Accu-Choke threading, so you can swap the X-Full turkey tube for a modified or improved cylinder choke and chase small game, doves, or clays. The 22 inch vent rib barrel is a handy all-around length for a young hunter's first few seasons.
Yes, it ships with an X-Full turkey choke installed, which is designed to throw the tight patterns you want on gobblers at typical shot distances. You'll still want to pattern it with your chosen load before season, since every barrel and shell combination patterns a little differently.
