My first post ... and I'd like to thank many of you for teaching me a lot.
My 18 year old son and I would like to buy our first shotgun. Initially, it will be used primarily for skeet shooting. Hopefully, it will not have to serve much of a role in home defense.
We are primarily looking at the Remington 870, a Mossberg pump, and the Benelli Nova. I have read a lot of what has been posted regarding these guns. They all seem like great choices. I have also read about how important it is to fit a gun to an individual.
Can anyone give me some information as to whether a certain body type fits one of these brands better than another. My son is about 5'10" and a very fit 180 lbs. I am about 5'8", a softer 200 lbs. We are both somewhat short armed for our heights.
Any other information regarding these guns will also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much ...
