Looking for guidance 20ga youth setup

[Ninety]

Hi there,

I'm actually looking for a full size 20ga that has a compact stock option , that won't break the bank.

So shorter Barrel, with aftermarket or OEM support for compact stock.

Is the Mossberg 500 Super Bantam the best option out there ?

All recommendations are welcome.
For a 10 yr old, pheasant, duck , doves etc .

More $, but IIRC the Benelli Montefeltro was available with a "youth" stock.

Winchester makes a youth SX4. I would check into if you can buy an adult stock & stock bolt to change it out when he gets older. I would think it could be changed out. It's a bit more $$, but buy once.

A SX4 is a great Shotgun that will last many years to come. If he grows out of it and wants to go to a 12. Ga., You could use it if you want. It is a nice gun.

The Mossberg is a great gun to start out with if you don't want to start him out on an autoader. It's already set up to switch the spacer as he grows. A pretty good deal.

My kid Brother started out with a Mossberg 20 Ga. pump we had to get the stock cut. He later moved onto 12 Ga. guns.

I?m surprised nobody has brought up the 870 Jr. and youth models.
