[QUOTE="Northerner, post: 2208496, member: 29596"] I got my son the Weatherby SA-08. He was a small 10 year old when we got it. It has been very reliable shooting many rounds of sporting clays. Soft shooting and light enough to hold up. At that age I would definitely go with a gas gun. Just because a kid can shoot a heavier recoiling gun does not mean it won't cause bad habits down the road. The Benelli and Franchi recoil operated guns are very nice guns, but they do kick substantially more than the Beretta or Weatherby. While it is great for you to plan on your son having this gun forever, he will outgrow a youth gun at some point. Hopefully he will keep it and have it for his kids, but this next 20 ga probably won't be a lifetime gun unless you get a full size gun and then add a youth stock to be changed back later. Get him a gun that fits, don't skip the youth fit. I like the shorter barrel on the youth gun as well for balance and the ability of a smaller person to hold the gun up properly. [/QUOTE]
