youth shotgun - Page 2

Hydrant · 11-26-2010, 07:49 PM

I think a .410 is a good start for a youth gun. If you go with an over and under your going to get a little more kick then you would if you had a semi-auto. But even at that a .410 won't give you even that much. I shoot sporting clays so I have a Browning Citori 626 Sporting Clays with a 30" barrel or I have a Remington 11-87 premier 12 ga with a 28" barrel. I've also got a Remington 1100 12 ga with a 26" barrel.

I've thought about getting a .410 in over and under just to hone the skills. A 20 ga is a good one to go with, but it's got some ass behind it. If your shooting a lot, you'll start to feel it afterwards. A typical sporting clays course is either 50 or 100 rounds. I don't know the age, but 50-100 rounds with a 20 ga, I think they'd begin to be sore.

My brother has a Mossberg .410 with a pistol grip.

.410 is good along with being interchangable with some guns in a .45 colt. The only thing about .410 is cost, which might be a tad more than others.

Nothing wrong with a 20ga for him.
A Remington 1100 Lite 20ga was my first shotgun and I was probably around Blake's age, maybe younger, when Dad got it for me.

I have nothing against .410's, I've just never owned one myself.

If you don't mind a pump gun, you can get a Remington 870 youth/ladies model pump shotgun in a 20 ga, for about $260 - $300. I just saw it in a ad for Dicks Sporting Goods.

I think I paid $190 for my pump .410, but that was 15 years ago. Actually found it at Walmart.

Depending on his size, go full length on the shotgun so no need to out grow it.

I got a Remington 870 Express youth model in 20ga when I was 12. The gun is a tank and now sits next to my bed. I love that gun still.

Let me guess...

Ed thinks Blake should get a .22 loaded with Snake Shot, and practice on Tater-Tots.
