My grandson will be nine in June, and I've promised him that the summer he turns ten, he gets a shotgun as a birthday present.I don't intend to buy it now. Another year's growth can make a big difference with a kid.
In my family we all started shotgunning at 10, and we all started with a 20 ga. Marlin O/U. I disremember the model. Ususally after a year or two we would pass the gun off to a brother or cousin coming up, and we would receive something more suitable, usually in 12 ga.
I've seen lots of Mossberg and 870 Youth models. Can anyone else suggest other suitable choices for a budding shooter? Of course I'll probably start him with a 20, and not a single shot.
