Well yet another long hoped for moment came for me recently. Took my 9yr old to shoot sporting clays with me and he loved it. Didn't like the recoil on my beloved Wingmaster 20ga but the borrowed semi auto 20ga he shot (Winchester 1400) was much easier on him. He says to me after we were done "Dad I really like that gun, it was fun to shoot'.

Bless his heart I swear I didn't push him to say it!

So I have a Beretta 391 20ga that I had intended for him to shoot eventually but it turns out the 28" bbl is just too heavy and cutting the stock down to a proper length would just ruin the balance.

Began the long search (fun!) and finally scored a Franchi 620VS youth model for him. Nice short bbl and a LOP that should be perfect. He has no idea and will be getting surprised by it on Christmas morning.

I swear i'm not sure how i'm going to manage to wait that long!
