Hey all.
My good friend and shooting buddy called me today and said he needed a recommendation for a 20 gauge semi-auto shotgun. He has his own mini range and now has a clay target thrower. He wants the 20 cause his wife said she would start shooting if it didn’t hurt and even his 12 year old little girl wants to try it too.
He has a Remington 1100 Youth 20 Gauge but he said he went out the other day with all sorts of shells and the ONLY round it fed reliably was a magnum shell...obviously too much for a tiny girl.
He traded into a 20 Gauge semi with a brand of HATFIELD, which he said was the one Walmart sells. It too will only cycle magnum loads.
I believe him on these shotguns. He’s always had problems with that 1100 Light 20.
He wants a shotgun that his wife and little girl can try shooting and possibly get interested in. He is pretty insistent on a semi-auto.
The only one I know for sure will cycle light, target loads is Benelli. Beretta will likely also feed the target loads he wants to use with his wife and daughter.
Can you all give me some recommendations for a 20 Gauge semi-auto that my buddy can get that will reliably feed the target loads he wants to use.
Stoeger??
Any others to look at?
Thank you all.
