I haven't bought him one yet. Life and $ in the way. He's getting really good at shooting his .410 single shot. I was able to find him 600 rounds to practice with so we are concentrating on that for now!

Best 20 gauge Semi-Auto for son

Take a look at the Charles Daly 20 gauge semi-autos, too. Cabela's has them and they are the least expensive on the market at this point.
Most excellent to hear. My first gun is a Winchester single shot 410. It was Almost impossible to cock the hammer at 8. I killed piles of quail and chukar shooting 2.5" 7.5's for years.
Lots of good choices out there.
One thing I would throw out, a 20 is much more versatile than a 28. I have both, was shooting them yesterday and a 7/8 oz 20 load is very comparable to a 3/4 oz 28 load. The 28 I was shooting is about 3-4 ozs lighter than the 20. When I shot 1 oz loads in both the 28 had a slight bit MORE recoil.
When he grows into the gun he's got the option of 3" 1 1/4 oz loads with the 20. Thus my point of versatility!! Good luck.

For turkey only, hard to beat the Winchesters with the cantilever mount. Perfect set up for a red dot.
Also look at the youth 1187. You can get one of Remington's sure shot stocks for it. Super comfortable for a young shooter. You can also use a meadow creek mount to add a red dot.

I have quite a few shotguns and used to bird hunt a lot... in several states. Once I went to twenties, my twelves barely make it out of the safe. Quail, chukar, huns, pheasants, sharpies, prairie chicken, etc have all fallen to my twenties easily. A joy to carry and shoot, and I don't feel handicapped whatsoever.
