Thoughts on Savage 320 youth pump shotgun (compact)?
« on: March 12, 2025, 09:49:48 AM »
This seems like a good deal for a youth shotgun I'm looking to buy for my 9-year-old ($189.00 before tax, transfer, etc.):

https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/savage-arms-stevens-320-field-grade-compact-pump-action-shotgun

Anyone have experience with this gun? I'm not expecting the kid to put big volume through it (six to eight boxes per year between waterfowl, turkey, and target practice), and I'm not expecting to use it for longer than a decade (when all of our kids will have outgrown the gun).

Thanks for any thoughts or input you can provide before I purchase this.

It's a good price if you don't mind Chinese made guns.

I bought a rem 870 youth 20 for my son when he was 9. He moved to 12 the following year and I would never sell the gun. It is fun to shoot, light for long pheasant hunts and easy to throw in the truck as a traveler if I want. I still shoot it a couple of times a year. Congrats on your boy joining the hunt...there is nothing better  :tup:
