Cheap 20 guage semi-auto

[MississippiBoy]

I am looking for a cheap 20 guage semi-auto for my wife. She would like to learn to shoot skeet, but I don't want to buy a Benelli (unless a really good deal). I may keep it for a future gun for my daughter as well. Also my wife is 5'2" so a youth model may be needed.

Anyway, I have read about the Weatherby SA and the Mossberg SA, but want some other thoughts. Again this will probably be just a fun gun. I have an 870 Wingmaster in 20 and 12, plus a Model 12 in 12 and 16 so I have some good hunting guns.

Thanks. Edited April 23, 2013 by MississippiBoy

You can usually find good deals on used Rem 1100's, folks start having ejection problems with them & have no idea that it's a bad O'ring, which is a very easy fix.

I like the 1100s but have not been able to find one used.

Remington has a decent 11-87 youth model with a synthetic stock and interchangeable chokes. We have 2 for our SCTP program and work great for the small kids as they have virtually no recoil. Should be in the $500-600 range.

I've been on the look out for the same thing for my son. Academy and a LGS have a brand called Tristar that's affordable. I don't know any thing about it though. http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_587557_-1__?N=39632025+4294958122

I've been holding out for a good deal on a Remmy or something similar.

I have a TRISTAR tactical auto and it is a great gun for the money.

I like the feel of the Stoegers but haven't seen a 20 gauge semi or one with a short enough LOP for my wife.

I am going to see if I can find one for my wife to feel and check out. Would be a fun rabbit or squirrel gun too.

CZ 720 supposed to be a nice gun.  Sells for under $500 new.
