My 12 year old daugther wants to start hunting and I want to invest in a gun that she will get the most out of. Here in Southern Michigan / NW Ohio we can only use Shotgun or BP for deer so I think this is our best choice.
Your opinion is more than welcome.
She is a good sized 12 year old girlso the gun will be good for her for a long time. It comes with a slug barrel and smooth bore for shot. It was on sale last week at DICKS for $249 might have to stop in tonight and see if it still is.
I've never owned a 500 is this a good gun for her / us to invest in?
Thanks
Keith

Get it! I have one in 20 ga and it's a jewel. My son is 12 and doesn't have a problem shooting it. I wish I had the rifledbarrell for it, although we don't use those much here.

My son has shot deer with his every year since he was 7, he is now 11. I did get him a slug barrel for it last year and itreally improved the accuracy, but most are pretty good with a smooth barrel. If that one comes with the slug barrel, it is a good price.
