re: Need recommendation on a new shotgun for my 14-yo son...

Benelli is nice but their cheapest semi auto shotgun is still $1400. The A300 is almost $600 less. You and your son need to figure out if he wants a gas or inertia gun and go from there. If looking for inertia and don't want to spend the the big bucks on a Benelli M2, Vinci, SBE2, or the Browning A5, take a look at the Franchi lineup. If you go the gas gun route, the A300 seems like a pretty good pick. FYI, I shoot a Benelli and have no major complaints after about 6 years of pretty good use. I'll consider all my options when it's time for a new gun. Don't be concerned about shooting 3.5" IMO. Mine shoots only 3" as well and I've never had a problem knocking birds down, even big Canadas and specks. Shot shell technology is good enough to not have to worry about a bigger load.

Birds have been getting killed for 100 years before people thought they needed an extra 1/2" shotgun shell.
If I duck hunted every weekend of both splits and spent money on a lease, etc. then I'd justify the A400. As a guy who just goes when he gets invited, the A300 is plenty of gun.
Get the black rather than camo to keep it timeless.
