The Best Off-Hand Semi-Auto For Small Youth
By: Kaitlin Hunt (10)

I am so glad that my family and I have gotten into shooting. Shooting is so much fun! I never thought in a million years that I would have a gun that was built just right for me. The rifle I shoot is a Mossberg Blaze .22 Bantam Youth Rifle. This rifle is perfect for me since I am only 10 years old.

I am glad I got a youth rifle instead of a regular rifle. The youth rifle is so much lighter than a regular rifle. The Mossberg Blaze Youth Rifle is only 3.66 pounds. Most of the gun is made of polymer and only a couple of components are made of steel. The barrel length is 16.5,” but the total length of the gun is 34.25.” The gun is very accurate and inexpensive, especially for a semi-automatic rifle.

Mossberg’s BLAZE youth Bantam .22LR is an excellent rifle for small youth!

The youth rifle is really good, but like every gun there are some downsides. The worst thing about the gun to me is that about every 100 rounds fired, you should clean it. If you don’t clean the rifle, you may notice it jamming more. I have several things that I like about the Blaze .22. The first thing is the weight of the rifle. It can be very hard for someone my age to hold up a gun for so long when it’s really heavy. It gets really hard to shoot with accuracy when the gun is too heavy for you. Once you hold a rifle out for a couple of minutes straight, you realize how heavy the gun is.

This Mossberg, BLAZE Bantam model, is the first semi-auto rifle that Kaitlin was ever able to hold up for very long and shoot accurately off-hand with.

Another thing I really like about the gun is that it’s a semi-automatic. I can keep shooting my target with out having to cock it back. The final thing I like about the gun is that it doesn’t jam much at all.

Mossberg has made a wonderful rifle for young people like me to get into shooting. You can’t beat this gun for the price and all it has to offer. This has been a great rifle for me to start shooting. I would highly recommend the Mossberg Blaze .22 Youth Rifle.
