Ladies/Youth Sport Shotgun Help!!

snowdog2 · 02-26-2003, 10:56 PM

I' m looking for a semi-automatic 20 gauge ladies/youth sport model shotgun that shoots 2 3/4" and 3" shells (i.e., capable of both) and, hopefully, has a synthetic (i.e. camo) stock/forepiece for my wife for both turkey hunting and trap/clays. I just can' t seem to find a manufacturer that sells one. Does anybody know of such a gun??? Remington' s newest 3" 20 gauge youth turkey gun is not 2 3/4" compatible, and I' m too cheap to buy her two guns!!

Snowdog,

Are you SURE that the Remington doesn' t accept 2 3/4" shells?!?!?!!? THAT seems ridiculous! Is it only 3" compatible?

I looked on the Rem website and it did not say anything about not accepting 2 3/4" shells. You might want to email them and ask. They might have the 3" magnum just to let you know it will shoot 3" , just a thought.

I don' t know how well some autos would feed with the shorter rounds? I don' t shoot autos myself, probably never will again and never did a 20ga, always 12ga 3" er' s, but a buddy of mine shoots a winney if I recall correctly, and it doesn' t feed 2.75" rounds at all basically. I' ve heard of similar problems with .410 autos, trying to feed 2.5" er' s in 2.75" chambered arms. Something to consider?

Check out the Winchester 1300 Youth Ranger. They have one at Bass Pro for 239.88. The sale ends April 1st. Im not sure what it shoots though so check it out.
