Thomas and I have been looking at shotguns and have narrowed the field down quite a bit. The two below are the leading contenders.
Remington 11-87 Sportsman Youth
Franchi 48 AL Youth
I've located a Franchi for under $500 while the Remingtn runs around $700. The Franchi weighs less than the Remington by about a pound and it's length of pull is 1/2" shorter. I'm leaning towards the Franchi because I've always wanted a 48 AL and can get a regular stock to go with it so I can use it for dove season.
Anybody have experience with these or have other suggestions? Right now is a good time to buy so I'd like to take advantage of the lower off-season prices I've found.
Thanks for your suggestions and advice.
