Post by: ant-02 on February 18, 2011, 01:23:26 AM
Me and my wife are lookin for a good gun for her this season. Were not sure which one to get mossberge, benelli, browning etc. Kinda hard to choose when you cant "try it before you buy it" lol. Any info would be great. ( kind,range,gauge,size and why) thx

i thought about those, i also was thinking about the 835 grand slam its a short youth gun but i was unsure about the distance it would shoot with only a 20 in barrel.  what do you think?

I would be more concerned with recoil than what distance it shoots with a 20" bbl.

Might look at a Tri-Star viper G2  semi-auto in 20 ga.  Semi will help with recoil and also light in price.

that 20 in barrell coupled with good choke and load will kill them past my ethical range[50yrds]  :anim_25: :z-guntootsmiley:

I am a hard person to please.  I had bought my daughter who's 5'6ish a Benelli Nova youth, I am a very pleased with it.  Patterns in the 140's with heavy 13, 7's @ 40.   You can get one in the $250-$350 range depending on the finish.  The pump is good and tight, as tight as my 870 wingmaster and almost as tight as my Supernova, no complaints.  Might wanna add that one to your list to think about.

The top gun in this picture in a Remington 1187 youth 20gauge 21" barrel, that I initially got for my wife and we both love it.

They can throw a heck of a pattern too.
