Shotgun for Girlfriend

[jim_e]

I'm buying a new shotgun for my girlfriend. She is a hunter, mostly pheasant but some duck. I'm not a bird hunter. She is only 5' tall. What Benelli should I buy her? Do they make youth models for kids and shorter people? Thanks.

They also make a "youth" stock which is shorter and the gun is therefore lighter. Best, Robert

I'd look at buyimg her a Beretta 391 Urika short stock in 12g first then look at the 20g

 

The Beretta gas system will be less abusive to her small frame..

 

but, having said that .... take her out shopping and have her shoulder every gun that you can get your hands on and make the decision based on fit and feel /// I'm guessing the Beretta will be at the top.

I'm with birddog on this one.

me too go with the gass opperated i would go with a 20ga beretta. not to sound cheep but i would probabley go the gun show route and pick up somthing used just incase she hates it

By the way this is a really beautiful lady, even if she is old. Let's see what happens to you when you reach this age ?

Uhhh... ok. Personally, If this were my trade, I'd keep the shotgun.

My 20ga Montefeltro is awesome for duck and pheasant.  Would highly recommend

The obvious answer is a Benelli M4!  If she can’t hold it up tell her to lift some weights
