Gun for my daughter

Post by sdw »

Y'all give me some suggestions on a reasonably priced turkey gun for my 14 year old girl. I'm thinking a Remington 870 or Mossberg 535. I've got an old 12 gauge Remington 1100 that I think is too big for her. I'm afraid it'll kick her into the next county. Also have a browning sweet 16 I might consider letting her use. I don't shoot shotguns a lot so not sure what to go with here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My wife shoots a remington 870 youth with a elcheapo True Glo red dot sight.
This is the perfect size for a small frame person but the only complaint I have is that little gun kicks harder than my 12 guage. I would recommend getting a auto rather than a pump to cut down on the recoil for the young lady. I also prefer the Remington over the Mossberg and I do own both. They both work well but it is my experience that the Mossbergs kick more than the Remingtons. Hope this helps.

870 compact in a 20 gauge is about as fine a turkey gun as you can own for a kid or an adult.
