[QUOTE="SLE, post: 338568, member: 3889"] As my kids grew of age to start shotgunning a couple years ago I went through this exact situation in the quest for a good youth gun. I always thought the youth nova's and 870s were like a tractor, they get the job done but do so in a crude way; they kick like a mule; and they still cost $400+ and the kids will outgrow it within a few short years. I also thought an auto would be better for recoil. Ended up Buying and Weatherby SA-08 Semi Auto 20 GA Youth and then ordered a full size stock that can be installed as the kids grow out of the youth stock. Gas operated and comes with two separate pistons, one for heavy loads and one for light. Shoots 2 3/4 and 3" and only cost about $150 more than a 870. Would've been almost the same price had I not ordered the extra stock. So far so good however I expect this year to be the first it gets a bunch of shells run though it so time will tell. [/QUOTE]
