Depends on what you want to spend if money is no option nothing beats the remington 1100'sor 1187 semi auto If on my budget mossberg 500 w/ rifled barrel and a 60 dollar scope and you can w/ the right loads shoot 3 inch or tighter groups at 100 yds mine likes the winchester sabots or lightfields 125yds or under its on the grill

I have both the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500. You'll and your son be happy with either one.

If you haven't figured it out its hard to beat a Remington 870. I bought a fully rifled barrel for mine and its shooting 3 inch groups at 100 yards no problem. I'm sure Mossberg 500 can be as good. I wouldn't get rid of mu 870 for nothing.

My 12 year old daughter shot it with no problem too. 12 Gauge... She's pretty tough though...LOL
