I'm looking at either a Mossberg SA-20 or SA-28 both in the bantam wood stock model for my 8 year old. He is 4'2" and 50 pounds soaking wet. The gun will primarily be used for turkey hunting for the next few years until he is old enough to handle it for other game that moves a little quicker.
He is very recoil sensitive, but has been shooting a 300 blackout on an AR frame this year for deer season.
Both guns will utilize Apex TSS ammo for turkey hunting. My question is will a standard 28 gauge target round or a 20 gauge light load target round have more perceived recoil? I believe the 28 gauge is 1/4 pound less in weight.
The kids is eager to get behind a shotgun this year on a bird, but I don't want him to shy away from the sport because he had a need experience with too much gun.
