Mossberg SA20 Youth

Anyone have this? Looking for a quality starter gu for my 10 year old. Don’t want to break the bank when he will probably upgrade to a nicer semi-auto 12ga when he grows.

Then get a Hatfield. Half the money. More to spend when he gets older. That said I would get a quality 20 gauge semiauto, but not a youth model.

I bought a Mossberg Youth Bantam in 20 ga for my grandson.
It wasn't "cheap" though

[Hatebean]

Yeah, it’s around $500, so not “cheap”. Other compareable guns were 800-1k

Where do you live/shoot?
If you're close, bring your kid along one day so he can try it.
Triple B's is closest to me

Hatfield has an interesting price tag. I agree, great buy for youth.

You can get a youth model Weatherby SA-08 20ga for $499.

For the age, a 20ga youth is good. When/if out grown, you could sell, or pick-up a longer barrel & full size stock, and still have a nice 20ga.

How tall is your 10 year old? Youths come in all sizes...is the SA20 sized for YOUR youth?

I picked up a really nice Mossberg 500 chambered in 410. I picked it up for $300. It's pretty small.

Not sure how tall. Of the ones we looked at this one fit the best.

That is the one I would go with assuming "best" means darn close to a good fit and not "best" from the other adult shotguns on the rack.
