The Mossberg SA-28 All Purpose Field Youth is a 28 gauge semi-auto shotgun (Mossberg part no. 75769) built around a gas-operated system that vents excess gas to reduce felt recoil, making it an easy-handling choice for wingshooting, competition, turkey, and recreational shooting. Its black synthetic Bantam stock is scaled down for smaller-framed shooters, pairing with a matte blued vent rib barrel and a metal bead front sight for a fast, simple sighting picture. It ships with Mossberg International’s Sport Set of five choke tubes, so new shooters can dial in pattern density as they progress. The soft-shooting 28 gauge platform combined with the reduced-recoil gas system makes this a natural first semi-auto for younger or smaller-statured shooters.
