jim_e Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 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.

djansma Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 i bought my daughters a 20 monte with a 26 inch barrel great gun weighs 5 1/2 lbs and it will chamber a 3 in shell David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert II Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 They also make a "youth" stock which is shorter and the gun is therefore lighter. Best, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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.

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 My 20ga Montefeltro is awesome for duck and pheasant. Would highly recommend F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxArms Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The obvious answer is a Benelli M4! If she can’t hold it up tell her to lift some weights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
