My son is 9. He's pretty much average size and build for an athletic 9 year old. He's been shooting bb, pellet, and .22 rifles for a couple of years now. I want to get him a shotgun to get him ready for hunting season in a year or two. I know we have quite a few shooters around here so I thought I'd ask for the opinions of the CP populace on this endeavor.
I know what I started out with as a young man, but I was a big kid and my Grandpa was a bit of a sadist at times.
I want something that will last, but I don't want to spend a whole hell of a lot of money on this. The fancier firearm will come when he turns 16 as is our family tradition.
So, what's out there that I should be looking at? Caliber and action are the biggest considerations after fit, of course. If you have a specific model in mind I'm all ears, too.
