Remington 110 .410 but they are expensive.

no, he hasn't gotten to that point yet. It was bought for the wife a few years ago but she never shot it, so it has just been waiting around. Doubt my son will make it up to that level this year

Both age & size should be considered.
Try a 20 ga. gas operated automatic, youth model if possible, IC choke.
Then put a long plug in the magazine, only allowing one shot at a time.

Default age 7

Started my boy at 7 on a 20 ga. crack barrel on which I had cut down the stock and put a well padded rubber pad. First shot he made was on a Whistler and he folded it. I kept the piece I cut off and as he grew older, I added the back till his arms were long enough to handle an adult gun. Ah yes, those memories are sweet.

Dang, that's one tough little boy! A 20ga crack barrel kicks more than a 12ga semi-auto. I don't even like shooting them. LOL

Let him shoot, find his comfort zone. We got him a Remington.410 and moved up to a 20. Never was scared of the recoil, just fit him for his size. Worth every penny for the shells. Sixteen now. Lol!

Yea the hell with a 20 gauge crack barrel; they are way out of balance and bite like a rattlesnake.

Y'all need to jump on the 28 gauge band-wagon; then you can convince the wife you will be saving money by loading your own shells while drinking beer in the shed.

Safety should first and formost...2nd is maturity???

How big and tall is he.. Did U say he's 6??? I started mine 2 sons at 6 with there first BB gun.

My oldest son was bigger 8 so he used a single shot 20...At 9 he used a single 12 ga.

My youngest was small like his Mom... He used that 20 ga for 2 yrs,, At 9 he used the single 12 ga.

My grandson is going to be 6 in 1 month... He's small like his dad.. Not mature...

I've got him his 1st red rider daisy BB gun gor his up coming B Day... Not sure he can even shoot it NOW.. It may be next yr until he can shoot it...

Just my experience.. And Humble Opinion..

I'd get a crack barrel 20ga and put a limbsaver recoil pad on it. That will take most of the kick out of it. He might get frustrated with a 410 because they just don't kill good except really really close range. But then again 6 might be a little young for a 20 ga, like others said just depends on the kid really.

This. ^^^^^^ I bought one for my son also at the same place. It comes with two stocks, a youth to fit him now (short length of pull) perfect for a kid, and an adult, so it can be shot by him or you later. My son was 7 when I got it, handled it well, and he shot only one shell for a while. He's 11 now and got a 12 gauge last year for Christmas.

We hunt a lot of kids at our camp in GC and pretty much all have started with a .410 and graduated to 870 20g. Always bring BB gun cause usually kids that young don't want to shoot a box of .410 shells. Few shots at birds or cripples on water and they are satisfied.

toted a 20 gauge around when I was 7, probably too young but get a regular sized 20 rather than a youth model. He'll outgrow it quick, but a regular sized 20 he can use for awhile.

A 12 gauge semi-auto with low brass shells kicks less than any 20 or 410 single...Full choke cheap 12's will kill any rabbit or sq. you hit with it...High powered loads have more pellets to mess'm up...Due to shoulder injury I used my grandsons youth model pump 20 gauge....Junk...went back to my pump 12 with the cheapest winchesters in #6....Better to get a full size and an after market youth stock...Cheaper to get stock then to upgrade barrel later....Barrels cost almost as much as new pump guns...
