Kids got their first chance to shoot trap at a youth function this week.
Shot a 20 ga and enjoyed it as well as busting clays.
Now we come to the inevitable question as to which 20 ga is out there that would work well for kids and won't break the bank as there is a chance their interest will wane.

Mossberg Bantam.
Not as fancy as the Rem but the top safety is nice.

How much breaks the bank? I went with the Franchi Affinity. that Weatherby gets good reviews for a less expensive gun.

Remington 1100 LT-20 or Franchi 48. The 1100 is a better shooting gun, the Franchi a better hunter.

Get a youth gun, not a full sized gun.

My son has a Weatherby SA-08 and it's been a great gun. It gets very solid reviews on the internet. It comes with a youth stock but you can buy an adult stock later.

Weatherby SA-08 Youth/Compact would be my first choice. My grown daughter likes hers better than the Winchester SX-3 Compact Walnut Field she had.
Mossberg Youth SA-20 is good but some of them don't cycle light loads well.
Franchi Affinity Compact is a great shotgun but will have more recoil than a gas gun.
Franchi 720 Compact is great too but hard to find since they've been out of production for a while. They are pricey when you do find them. AL-48 would be too light IMO and some people don't like the barrel movement.
If you want to up your budget then a Browning Silver Micro Midas or Winchester SX-3 Compact Field.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
