RA,

I understand your wanting to buy American made, and I'd never try to change your mind. But, for a kid, I felt that the more important issue was how shootable the gun was. As soon as my grandson could handle something more than a .410, I went looking for him a 20 ga. S x S. I found an Ithaca SKB 200E in unfired condition at an auction, and bought it for $850. It is a lot of gun for the money, well made, and he shoots it like a house a'fire. I can shoot it well, too. It's a lot more shootable gun for a kid than a 311. But ........... it's not American made.





Good luck, SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.
