I'm looking to get Gus a youth sized gas 20 gauge. Looking for a compact, light gas gun.
Beretta a400 Lite compact seems like the option for me. It is a little heavy over 6 pounds and has the heaviest price tag, but seems to be best of the bunch. There are the Turkish options from Mossberg (SA-20 youth) and Weatherby (SA-08 youth) that are light and inexpensive, but i'd rather avoid a headache, but they are light.
Very intriguing are the inertia guns from Benelli / Franchi that are light, but obviously will have more recoil due to being light and inertia guns. Montefelatio and Affinity 3 both come in under 6 pounds and come in compact models. Monte comes with a 2 stock version in wood and the Franchi has a nice spacer system. Anyone have comments on these for recoil?
Not interested in pumps or doubles. What am I missing? He isn't a big kid and I've seen how lugging a heavy gun dampens enthusiasm in both adults and kids - so not interested in anything heavy. Kid had eleventy-five dozen guns already, but he is outgrowing his .410s and needs a 20.
