figgy Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Not long sold a 28" version. Don't get hung up on a youth model as they are very light and you can buy a youth stock from Entwhistles, this way best of both can put back to regular as they grow or to sell on later.

Beretta12 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks Figgy, he's only a small 10 year old and I just felt the shorter 26 inch barrel would be better balanced - Greenfields of Salisbury have new multichoke game one is with a shorter length stock of 13 1/2" for £475. Which I'm very tempted by, but really would like something cheaper - second hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Thanks Figgy, he's only a small 10 year old and I just felt the shorter 26 inch barrel would be better balanced - Greenfields of Salisbury have new multichoke game one is with a shorter length stock of 13 1/2" for £475. Which I'm very tempted by, but really would like something cheaper - second hand? Can I say that I have a 28" barrel Yildiz 28 bore (NOT FOR SALE) that I use for my 2 Grandkids. The eldest is now 14 and the younger is 11. They have used this gun for some 2 years. I had the full sized stock cut down to 13" because the 'Youth Model' at 13 1/2" LOP is just too long. I have kept the piece of wood that was removed but have lengthened the stock with a recoil pad for the older lad and a thinner rubber pad for the younger one. If they are both shooting, I use the thinner pad and a leather slip on pad for older one to use. I had been using 14 gram cartridges but have moved up to 16 gram for the bigger guy. I have just bought a shortened Beretta 391, 20 bore for the older lad to start using, leaving the younger one on the 28 for now. I would NOT be too fussed in finding a Youth Model, as it will probably require shortening anyway. They will be better with a slightly short stock than a slightly longer one. The longer stock will tend to be on the upper arm and NOT in the shoulder pocket. It may pay to get him a lesson with a good Instructor who is able to provide a suitable gun to start him with. Every weekend I see well intentioned Dads' and Grandads letting "the Lad" have a go and I cringe. Remember get it wrong at first go, and it might just be his last. I have witnessed it too often.

Westley Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Bamfords of Eccleston, Chorley have a 26" 20 bore in, with a short stock. Worth a look at the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I use a cut down SxS 12 bore that I cut down to 12 1/2" stock fitted a pad and cut the barrels to 24 1/2" I put a leather slip on pad for my wife and nephew and use 21g Hull Comp X there is very little recoil. They both have used this gun for a few years now. The upside is cheaper cartridge choice and a lot easier to hit clays with cylinder both barrels.
