The Iver Johnson 700 Youth 20 gauge single-shot shotgun with a 24-inch barrel is a youth-size break-action that folds in half for transport and storage (Iver Johnson part no. IJ70020-24Y). It has a black chrome matte receiver and barrel, a youth-size checkered walnut stock and a smooth forend, and it accepts shells up to 3 inches. The shorter length of pull and an unloaded weight of 5 pounds make it manageable for a younger or smaller shooter. Interchangeable chokes let the gun grow from first shots at clay targets to dove and small game. It is a practical way to bring a young shooter along with a simple, plain gun.
