Shooter
looking for some advice on a first shotgun for my 13 year old son. This will be used primarily for clays with an occasional upland bird hunt. He is on the smaller side 4'11" and 90 pounds.
what we are looking at is 20 GA youth models
the 3 models he likes are
Remington 870 express Youth
Mossberg 500 Bantam
Weatherby PA-08 Upland youth
Looking for any thoughts or concerns from these models or any other models to look into want to say under the $500
I would skip the pumps all together. Especially if he is going to be hunting with it. You cant go wrong with a Remington 1100 or 11-87 in 12ga.
12ga Auto loader is basically a nudge on your shoulder. If you are anywhere near Terre Haute (I live just north on the outside edge) bring him over and I will let him try out a Remington 11-87 in my backyard shooting some heavy loads. If you are use to those pumps....you might have to try the 11-87 too! Both can be had for under a 500 on the used market.
