I use a 20 ga Mossberg 500. You can get one at WalMart for just over $200, less than $225 pretax, at least that's what they were about a month or so ago. You get a wood stock, adds weight, reduces recoil. I love mine, killed a bunch of pheasant and quail with it.
You can also buy a rifled slug barrel for it and take to the deer woods.
Check it out.

try this on/see what u think/i'd suggest to you a 20 gauge single shot.the recoil is negligible.the benefits is you will learn to get on target better knowing you have one shot,and not being disrespectful to you it's much safer to handle while you learn.Even after youre missed shots you can stil track the game helping you prepare for the day when you move up to a gun that is capable of shoting more than once with a cool head.YOUNGSTERS and I was the same get excited and sometimes shoot in a rush.I promise you that you'll mature into a safer and more efficient hunter using this tactic.

If you want reliablity and simple maintance The Remington 870 (Pump-Action) in 20 or 12 Gauge, If you want Speed with little or no adjustments to compansate for shell load differances, A Benelli(Any Auto-Loading Model) or Remington 11-87 (Auto-Loading) in 20 or 12 Gauge, Remember pump's are very reliable but, auto's will absorbe recoil(Except The Early Browning A-5's they tend to kick like a mule?) You will want some felxibilty in it!(Such as Removible Choke Tubs, Chambered up to 3 Inch. and less as a Standard and "NO" 3-1/2 Inches or Magnum's of any kind, Youth/Young-Adult Style Buttstock is a "must" for proper shoulder mounting(Sight-Picture) and control(Follow-Through)!!! The stock must fit you for your best performance on the Range and in the Field!

by fitch270It's looking like the ammo situation may be with us for awhile. I'd thought about picking up an adult style pellet rifle a few years ago but put the idea...
