I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or not, I'm sorry if it's not. Anyway, I'm looking for a youth model shotgun to get my girlfriends son hunting, and was wondering what would be a good gun to start him out on. He's come with me hunting, but he's to small to use my gun, But he likes walking around in the woods with me. I was thinking a 20gauge. I've heard .410's don't have a very good pattern. I'd love to get him a Rem 870, but there pretty expensive to start out with and I don't want to spend that much. So dose anyone have any sugestions for a cheaper/good deal on a gun? have you see any on sale? or does anyone have one for sale? thanks

How old is he?

My son started out with a remington 870 youth junior (20 ga) when he was 8 and did well with it last year at age 9. Very pleased with it.

look at a pawn shop for a single shot 20 ga. Best starting gun in my opinion.

i know mossberg makes a good youth 12ga and 20ga. and i think the price is fairly reasonable.

What price range are you looking at?
