Women's shotgun
« on: July 21, 2008, 06:46:31 PM »
Can anyone recommend a shotgun for a woman who weighs 110 pounds and is 5'6" (slender build).  She liked shooting my Benelli SBE II (said it kicked a lot less than she expected), but didn't have the strength (or the arm length) to hold it up for very long.  Yes, we know that a lighter gun, in general, kicks harder.  Is there some happy trade-off between gauge and weight?

A 28 gauge O/U with 26" barrels would be a nice choice. If necessary cut stock to fit.

5'6", 110 lbs, and likes to shoot with you......................................was there a question in there, I was daydreaming a bit, mouth agape, and drooling.  I've heard of such women, but thought it was all myth and legend  :)

The very first thought I had was a semi-auto 20ga, but the 28ga O/U sounds ideal, and she could shoot it all day
