Not to rag on you but, I think you should of got a SBE for what kind of hunting you are doing. The wood stock gets very heavy after awhile. The SBE is simply the best suto you can buy. Period.

The X2 is not even close to a sbe!!!!!!!!! The sbe is simply the best gun out there, and by the way that msrp. I bought mine for 900 dollars. An 1187 is a so so gun but not close to a sbe. sbe is definately worth the price. if your son wants to shoot it all you have do is buy 2 3/4 shot shells. The sbe also has a availible recoil reducer. If you have the money get a sbe. if not get a nova.

My son is 12, I just bought him a Nova a week ago. He loves that gun. Suprisingly though, he went from a 410 to a 12 ga.

Me and my son had a great hunt with coyotes last weekend too. Read the post, its a good story.

Yea, i would go with the 28' too. Also with a 24' you are goin to blow someones ear off. My friends turkey nova is very loud with his 24' barrel.

I m not really sure, one of my old friends bought one, but i will have to ask him.

This weekend me and my son went huting for Quail. This turned out so great, my son and I shot 1 coyote and 2 Quail. We found the coyotes near the birds and got all of em. I think this is the greatest hunt me and my son have ever had.
