[QUOTE="buzby, post: 2917513, member: 120420"] I’m a huge proponent of double barrel shotguns! Follow up shots are smoother, with no action cycling. Overall length is shorter with the same barrel length, also because there’s no bolt (this is nice in the grouse woods). I feel that they are safer, and easier to maintain. 20ga is sufficient for all upland game. Less recoil, the guns weigh less, and the shells weigh less. Anything cheaper than a Franchi, will likely give you issues and will be cheaply made. The “B” guns are the best value, beretta and browning. They fit slightly different. You’ll know which is for you. Red labels are solid, but heavy. Shotguns for kids are hard. Lighter and shorter is much easier for them to handle, but trade off is more recoil. Autos, recoil a bit less, but longer, heavier. This might be the only time I’d recommend a CZ double barrel. You can get a mostly reliable gun that you won’t mind cutting the stock down on! Cut it down to fit them, then you can add good recoil pad. It will be safer for kids to operate too. [/QUOTE]
