[QUOTE="JTComfort, post: 2951745, member: 103514"] A gas-operated semi might be the best for your kids as they grow and let them choose (and buy) their own O/U, based on taste and resources. My son loves the Beretta 12ga A300 for everything. He began shooting it when he was around 100lbs at age 12 and has never really wanted to swithc back ot O/U. I shoot a Browning Citori Upland Special (24" barrel w/Invector chokes) 20 ga for everything including pheasant and decoyed ducks. It kicks a bit due to light weight, though is a delight to carry all day with a strap and while handling the dog as well. A 1939 Browning Superposed 12 ga does fair weather duty on dove, grouse and pheasant. Beretta O/Us should be on your radar as well. They are very well-built and right priced - their finishes very weather tolerant. The Ruger Red Labels I found were ordinary in fit/finish and the safety/selector switch did not inspire confidence.
