Does Remington make a Youth 1100 or 11/87 for kids? Will be getting my boy into next year and am looking to some alternatives. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

They do or did. If not,just get a short barreled gun in 20 gauge and buy a cheap plastic stock and cut it down.
put skinny pad on it,as he/she grows,replace pad with thick 1,and when they outgrow that,they'll be ready for full size,all for 60 bucks over price of gun alone.

I know they make youth stocks for the 870 but i do not know about 1100 or 1187. You pick up a regular 870, and get the youth stock that you put the regular stock back on when he gets older.

Bought my daughter a Mossberg Model 500 Bantam in 20 gauge. Great gun for a starting hunter. I paid $229 at Gander Mt.

Its also a good gun for us adults when the weather gets colds and the clothes get thick.

Remington's website shows the 870 and 11-87 in youth size, both in 20 ga.

I hada newyouth 11-87 in my hands today, I think the price was $519.
