Hello Everyone,
My fiance' is having some trouble with finding a correctly sized shotgun - she's expressed interest in going to the clay range with my group of friends; however, we all have shotguns that are for full-sized individuals. She's about 5'2" and maybe 115lbs. She's tried them all, but they're obviously too big for her. She has to reach too far, causing the gun to kick into her neck and cheeks. It leaves some not so pleasant looking bruises.
We have a few options - she seems to like the fit of 2 of Mossberg's offerings, the 88 youth and 500 youth in 20 gauge. She'd also like to try a 12 gauge more her size.
I have a 12 gauge Maverick 88 with a 28" inch barrel. I was thinking of trying to find a shorter replacement stock for this and letting her try that with some low recoil rounds before buying another gun.
Would any of you have an idea on where to look for 12 Gauge Maverick 88 compatible, shorter stock more fit for a smaller frame person?
Thanks all!
