I've grown to love the double gun. Just something special about it. I am kind of a cheapskate though, so the high dollar guns don't make my list.
The swing of a well balanced sxs or o/u is like a wand. The pumps and autos just don't have the same feel to me...
I have a cheap o/u (Fausti that I got new for $225). It is a 20 gauge with 26" barrels that I can cut the stock. I know that the CZ would have better handling and if I have it cut I will lose my rainy day gun. Not to mention we just had a little girl that will hopefully also head to the woods with daddy. A new gun will get plenty of use so I'm not concerned with a dedicated gun getting only a couple of years of use. I still have a little time to decide my oldest is six this month and will be in the woods with me this year but without a gun…

I have fit several kids to shotguns and would say that the most important thing is fit(lop). If the gun is to long or heavy then it is just a big stick. The Mossberg is a good idea bc the lop can be shortened easily and it is relativly inexpensive. Keep in mind that if you are looking at an autoloader that the stocks can't be cut down as much due to the action return spring being the stock. The 870 youth has been improved with the fore end being longer so the kids don't have as much trouble reaching. I would recommend the CZ 720 youth for a solid autoloader. I know two guys that hunt real close to 60 days a year and take the kids along on these hunts. They DO NOT clean their guns for shite and the CZ keeps on rolling! Good luck to you and your kids.
