My first was a winchester 120 youth. This christmas it will be 20 yrs old.
Thousands of shells run through it and not the first problem. I would highly recomend it if they still make them.

Can't go wrong with Remington auto 1100/1187. You can replace the youth stock as he gets bigger. I just sold one and bought a 20ga Nova, which I really like, but I don't think they (Benelli) make a youth model. A 3" chamber would be nice to have for turkeys and ducks as well. Good Luck to the lucky young man. INJ

I don't know if it comes in 20 gauge, but i've always thought the Reminton
870 was a tough gun to beat for the money.

The Beretta 303 Youth Models are still around and are primo guns for the price.

The 303 was the model replaced by the 390. You can pick them up for around $400 NIB. That is what my wife was shooting in your dove field.
