Frequently Asked Questions
Mossberg SA-20 Bantam for sale
Is the Mossberg SA-20 Bantam any good?
The SA-20 Bantam is well-regarded for its light weight, smooth handling, and manageable recoil, making it suitable for younger or smaller shooters. It requires a minimum of 15/16oz loads, so lighter target loads may not cycle reliably, making it a field hunting gun rather than a clay shooting option. Priced around $635, with variants ranging $519–$721.
What is a Mossberg Bantam shotgun?
The Mossberg Bantam is a compact 20-gauge shotgun scaled down for smaller-framed shooters, featuring a shortened stock and reduced trigger reach. It comes in pump-action configurations rather than semi-auto, suited for youth and smaller adults hunting or sport shooting, typically priced between $300 and $500.
How many rounds does a SA-20 hold?
The SA-20 holds 5 rounds total: 4 in the magazine tube plus 1 in the chamber. For hunting compliance, a plug can reduce capacity to 3 rounds total (2 in the tube, 1 chambered).
Can you use slugs in a Mossberg SA-20?
Yes, you can use slugs in the Mossberg SA-20. It has a smooth bore, so Foster-type rifled slugs work best. The gun cycles them reliably with proper maintenance. Check local hunting regulations, as slug use may be restricted in certain areas or seasons.
Where is Mossberg SA-20 made?
The Mossberg SA-20 is manufactured in Turkey and imported by Mossberg International as part of their SA-Series semi-automatic shotgun lineup.
What is the effective range of SA-20?
The SA-20 is a 20-gauge shotgun. Effective range is typically 25–40 yards with shot loads, and up to 75–100 yards with slugs, depending on choke, ammunition, and target size.
What is the length of pull on a Mossberg SA20 Bantam?
The Mossberg SA-20 Bantam has a 13-inch length of pull, though one source lists 12.5 inches for a specific youth variant. Measure your individual gun to confirm. This shorter pull suits younger or smaller shooters compared to the standard SA-20's 14-inch pull.
What choke does a Mossberg SA-20 use?
The SA-20 uses Mobilchoke-style (Beretta/Benelli) interchangeable choke tubes. Always verify compatibility with your specific barrel, as threading can vary by production run.
