I'm looking to get my son a 20 gauge youth model ,preferably pump. If I can find one I'd get an 870 but what's out there for other options that wont break the bank?

Mossberg 510 bantam. Comes with some spacers for the stock to make it a little longer as he grows.

the Mossberg 500 is a good gun if you can't find the Remington.
I like them both. I favor the 500 more than the Rem but own both
part of why I like the 500 is if you run into a lefty or left eye dominant shooter the safety is on top very ambidextrous.
if he is particularly small the Mossberg 500 Bantam comes with an even shorter stock that has spacers to add as he grows.
the Mossberg are reasonably priced before the current mess of gun unavailability 250 would buy you a Mossberg

Thanks Jerry, do those have the thumb safety? Yes.

An 870 Express Youth model,even with 7/8 oz light loads,is a butt kicker for a small kid. My boys had 1 and even I didn't enjoy shooting it. The recoil never bothered my boy... 870 youth express - 20ga just a regular old full choke and some 3" high brass #6's... Some #3 buck and some more #6's and 4's make it pretty vesatile. He shot all these things that day, coyote included!... Add a slug barrel and some slugs... I'm sure a Mossberg 500 youth would do the same. We just liked the fit and the safety on the Remington better.

Both of my boys shoot an 870 youth model very well is still a little bit big for the eight-year-old but the recoil doesn't bother him. Mossberg will fit smaller Shooters better since its adjustable. I have a 20 gauge H&R call Unlimited youth model that was my 8 year olds really like he shot his first job with a wing this year

Mossberg or Remington both are nice I agree! Either one would be reliable and have enough weight to offset recoil for a kid.

The pump release is easier on a 500 also for a lefty, because its behind the trigger guard verses in the front.

that is why I keep a loaner M500c 20ga for 4-H kids who need to borrow a gun.
it is very ambidextrous.
i get right and left and cross eye dominate kids one tool works for many

I carry a youth model stoeger condor 20 over and under. It shoulders fast for me but its a great shooter. Its actually my son's but he's in college and hey its just sitting here so I'm making sure it gets a good field testing while he's away. Neat gun and fun to shoot. I grew up with side by sides but this over under I could get used to too. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
