Tony13 59 Posted December 13, 2023 Looking for Mossberg 20 gauge pump, 26” barrel with dual beads. Hoping to get the kid into trap shooting. Or LMK if you have something comparable for me to consider. Thanks, Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Tony I don't know how old or big your kid is, but I have a Benelli Nova 20g youth model sitting in the back of the safe doing not very much.

Tony13 59 Posted December 13, 2023 Thanks Stu. He’s 13. He can muscle a bigger shotgun, but doesn’t like the kick of my 12guage OU. How longs the barrel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Stu 1,927 Posted December 13, 2023 It has a 24" barrel and is currently sporting an extended magazine tube - makes it 9+1 IIRC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony13 59 Posted December 13, 2023 Thanks. Looking for something a little longer. 26”-28” would be the shortest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tunaman 558 Posted December 14, 2023 Get him a 12 gauge and use the AA Low Recoil 26g shells. They are like mouse farts. My wife can shoot 3 boxes of them with out complaining. I sold the 20 gauge because it kicked like a mule. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Stu 1,927 Posted December 14, 2023 Also, a semi-auto will chop the felt recoil down significantly, especially if it is gas operated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
