Dont matter what it is, if it dont fit you wont hit..
If you were closer i would let you have her shoot my other halfs 11-87 and then her montefeltro.. Big difference..

hey thanx for the input...she has shot the 11-87 ...that's my gun :)...she seems to think a little lighter would be better for those days that end up with us "just taking the shotguns for a walk" as she refers to it...so I might shy away from the 11-87 just cuz its kind of a tank ... is the 1100 a lighter gun...hhmmm benelli you say...I think the cost is the issue there...Yep, Benelli Montefeltro, have her hold, mount and swing one, compare it next to the beretta or others if you can (the beretta is a great gun).
I think you'll see why i say the Benelli.
Head on down to cabelas there in post falls and put one on layaway with a 550 down payment.. Or if there is another place you like around there that has it.
This would be a shotgun she will own for life and the price of the Benelli is really not that much if you think in those terms.
The Benelli, Beretta 391 and browning golds are what they use in argentina for doves and they cant break them..

i would strongly reccomend finding a gun that is within her requirements of the gun, light, 3in. chambers etc. etc. that fits. it may take a little longer to save the cash for a properly fitting gun but trust me it will be well worth the wait and extra dough. it may even save money in the long run by not purchasing an ill-fitting gun and have to buy another in a year or two.
been there done that,

There is also the Bantam youth that weighs in at 5.25lbs and has adjustable butt pads.
I think Remington has a similar model for about the same cost.
I have the 835 and so does a friend, we are both very happy. But there are of course better options as the 835 ulti mag is a bit on the heavy side at 7 3/4 lbs.
