After a few years of Savage Cub model .22 squirrel hunts, I started my daughter with a Benelli montefeltro in 20 gauge. It came with a short “youth/ladies” stock and a “normal” length stock. I also used light RST shells. I feel like this was a good route to go even though it was a pretty expensive first gun for a kid. she’s 21 now, still has the gun in near new condition and probably will have it forever. I always figured if it didn’t work out a quality gun like that could be sold fairly easily since I could never find one used when I was looking.
Bottom line - you gotta go with what works for your kid. Keep it fun!
