The Savage 560 Field Compact is a 12-gauge, gas-operated semi-auto shotgun (brand part no. 57966) sized down for smaller-statured shooters without losing any of the full-size gun’s craftsmanship. A 3-inch chamber and 26-inch barrel keep the gun quick-handling, while a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver and compact-length Turkish walnut stock make it easy for younger or smaller shooters to mount and swing naturally. A hard chrome-lined bore and oversized controls carry over from the full-size 560 Field, so nothing is sacrificed for the shorter length of pull. It’s a natural fit for youth hunters or anyone who wants a trimmer-fitting field gun.
