I have a ten year old that I want to start in learning to shoot a shotgun for dove hunting in a few years. He has learned basic gun safety shooting .22 rifles and handguns.

I want to buy a shotgun that is comfortable and enjoyable to shoot. It would be nice to have one he could grow into. However, I don't know how realistic that is. My two choices, as I can see it, are the Remington 870 and 1100 youth models. Are their any others?

Any help picking the right one? Price is not an issue.

Thanks,
Dave
