The SA-20 Bantam is Mossberg's gas-operated semi-automatic 20 gauge cut down for smaller-statured shooters, with a shortened length of pull and a 24-inch barrel. Gas operation matters here more than anywhere: it soaks up a meaningful portion of recoil, which is exactly what a young or new hunter needs to avoid developing a flinch. The synthetic stock handles weather without complaint, and the All-Purpose Field setup with interchangeable chokes covers dove, upland birds, turkey, and small game. Many Bantam stocks can be extended as the shooter grows, letting the gun last well past the first season.
