Thanks for theresponses. He has no problem with the 20 ga. slugs, he has killed deer with it since he was 7 and he is 11 now. He is a very good shot, I just didn't want to knock him and have him be afraid of it. I want something he can practice with and be consistant without the worry of developing a flinch.

We were at the gun store today and he handeled three youth guns, remington, savage and weatherby. The remington was the lightest with a shorter barrel. the weatherby was way heavy, the savage priced right. So any imput on the remington 20"vs. the savage 22"?
