JimmyZip Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Looking for a good SG in that range or less. Daughter is 13 and will be shooting this in the next few years. More as she grows. She is already 5' 4", and growing. I am 6'4" and 212. I am not broad at the shoulders but my wingspan is 72" We have rifles, and pistols, now looking for a SG. Was thinking of something reliable and soft shooting. Also are we allowed to wear something to mitigate the recoil during a match? Mind you I grew up hoisting a surplus bolt rifle as my first centerfire at her age and I can handle recoil, it's just that I prefer not to if I don't absolutely have to. What do you guys recommend?

lee blackman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just my opinion, but I like gas operated systems like the Mossberg 930 or Remington Versamax, more than inertia operated like the Benelli. I feel they shoot smoother, but everyone will have their own preference. Your shooting birdshot and low recoil slug for multi-gun or 3gn, so recoil isn't really much of a factor anyway. Its nothing like an old military bolt gun you meantioned, those are just plain brutal. I seriously doubt you will need a shoulder pad to absorb recoil. A good limbsaver or decelerator recoil pad on the buttstock should be more than ample. I think your biggest issue is going to be trying to share a shotgun. You will both need different length buttstocks, as your different heights. You will probably find trying to change buttstocks or shims during matches very impractical. I know the Benelli M4 super 90 has an optional adjustable buttstock, but it also might not be your best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I definately recommend a gas operated shotgun also. From what I have read the Mossberg 930 is probably the best deal out there if you can find one. Stay away from the recoil operated shotguns because they do have more felt recoil.

JimmyZip Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Well, I found a 930 but it is only a 22". Will that be a problem? Can I get an extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The 22 inch is 8+1 which is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
