[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 4908287, member: 10019"] Thank you all so far for the replies. I have a youth 870 in 20ga and also a Winchester 1400 in a 20ga (which is definitely much longer than the 870). The 870 weighs a tad over 6lbs with 21" barrel, the 1400 in the 7lb range. Vs the Stevens @ 5lbs in the .410 and 6lbs in the 20ga with 26" barrel. The Yildiz in the .410 comes in at 3.3lbs! I will ignore the Winchester, it can continue to collect dust in the safe. I like the idea of the Yildiz but Im unsure about the choke, I need to do more research. So, if Im really wanting to spend some money I could go with the Stevens 301 in .410. The weight should dampen the recoil enough for a new shooter that it would be of no concern, don't you think? Give me something to play around with for a while (in regards to Andys comment about a novelty) and once she is "ready" then get the 870 rigged. No-one has mentioned the Rossi? IDK, its just a thought I had and its best for me to get them out of my head so to help with the decision. Maybe I should stick with my original plan from a few years ago and go with a Stevens 555 O/U in 20 ga for me and focus solely on something specific for her....or maybe the Yildiz Youth SPZ ME 20ga O/U!
