I am looking to buy my son a shotgun for his upcoming 8th birthday. I would prefer a pump but I am not opposed to a semi, especially if the semi will reduce recoil. He currently owns a 22 lr and a 243, so he isn't scared of recoil. I think a 4-10 would more fun for him to shoot but I have heard that the full choke of the 4-10 makes hitting moving objects hard and frustrating for a beginner. I am guessing the next step up would be the 20.
Does anyone have any suggestions to throw my direction. I will compile a list and compare the weight, lenght of pull, etc of each gun. If I am missing something, please let me know. I am not a shotgun guru.
Thanks.
