Youth shotgun advice needed
Posted on 7/21/13 at 1:59 pm

Looking to get a youth shotgun for 9 year old Dong. He has experience shooting .22 as well as 20 gauge single shot, which kicks like a mule and he loves it. Leaning towards the 870 Express due to durability and it's what i grew up with. However, I am hesitant to purchase anything from Remington and I'm open to suggestions.
TIA

Proper shotgun shells can go a long way in reducing recoil. They probably will not cycle in an auto, but RST Shotgun shells are mail order and great...

My wife had a Franchi 620. It was a sweet shotgun. She insisted on me selling it before we had kids. Really wish I had it back. If I remember correctly it was around $600 new.

We have a Mossberg .410 and a also the .20 gauge. My last two trailers used the .20 gauge at 9. They shot clays with it as well. Find a friend with one and let him try it. Great little shotgun.

I recently bought an H&R pardner youth 20ga. The op system is an 870 clone with synthetic stock, its cheaper also. The action isn't quite as smooth but will loosen up with use.

I have the 870 youth and 870 youth compact. Both are excellentguns for my 12 and 9 year olds.
Check the compact out. It also has shims to adjust length of pull as they grow.

I am as well but for the kids i'd do it. I'd even be happier if I could find a used one

Browning BPS Micro w 22" barrel or a Winchester youth model if you can find it.

Remington 870 youth express. I have one I still use for all my shotgunning needs. Can't beat a 21" barrel for bunnies going 90 mph through the briars or anything that moves fast through the brush. It's also lighter, shorter butt and trigger pull, can use 3" shells when he gets older. The butt can be shimmed but I'm 6'2" and the factory length is just fine for me.

Not sure the status of the company these days, but I have had an Ithaca youth 20 gauge for years. Great gun, light, easy kick, fixed choke.

I ended up buying my son a Benelli Montefeltro youth 20 ga with a matching full size butt stock when they had them in a special package deal. But I also was looking at the Legacy Sports Escort 20 gauge youth. It seemed to be very well made and was only about $450. Chromed lined barrel, Turkish Walnut stock or composite and shoots 3". Franchi also had a good looking youth gun. Frick Remington.

Get a Tristar auto.

I learned on a .410 single shot. You learn to hit your target or get used to seeing it run away.
