I have a couple of 20 gauge remington 1100's in the youth model.. my daughter started out on one when she was 9 or 10.. very little felt recoil..

Remington 1187 youth models have very little if any recoil. Just dont let the slaesman talk you into an 870 pump 20ga youth, they kick harder than a mule.

Remington 1100 28 gauge. IMO, might as well get a good gas 12 gauge if your gonna get a 20. A 28 gauge is the perfect youth gun, imo. I'm not knocking the 20, I love'em. But I've seen 20's kick just as much as 12's. Other than weight of the gun, theres very little difference in a 12 and 20. Especially if your mainly going to be using target/dove loads.

You raise a valid concern. I reload all my 28's and sometimes I forget about cost of factory loads. I reload 3/4oz in my 28 vs 7/8th oz in a 20. With lead #8 shot, thats very few pellets diffence. But, I'll admit I forgot about ammo cost being a concern. Me personally, I'd rather pay the extra for the best possible gun for a youth. A lot of issues can develop at early ages that can be a booger to get rid of as we/they get older. Most comes recoil and improper fit.
forgot to answer your first question. Rem gun club 20 ga will usually run from 5.99-6.99 vs 28's will range anywhere from about 8.00 to 11.00. But I can reload 28's for right around 4.00/box.

I have been loading 28's for years.. I got a 28 g 1100 skeet gun.. its one of my favorite guns.. but the shells will eat your lunch if you dont load them.. I actually bought 500 empties last year and I think I paid .14-.15 cents each for them..

,theres a good selection of semiauto's to pick from now adays,I went with a weatherby SA08 20g this past fall & really like it,a gas operated will have the least recoil most of the time.mine weighs a shade over 6 lbs ,$500 & tax.
