20 ga. Weatherby SA08 24" Youth Synthetic ?

[22250Rem]

Any one have one ? Was wondering about something like that for a 15 yr. old girl for general clay busting, ( mostly sporting clays). The size seems nice and the softer shooting semi-auto is a must-have. The price is nice. I'd love a semi-auto 20 ga. Beretta but that's quite a bit more money and this would be just for occasional use. I never see any Weatherby shotguns but I hear they work pretty good. Any truth to that ?

My daughter has had one for ten years. The only difference between it and the current model is it has a wood stock instead of a synthetic stock. I really like the shotgun and so does she.

I bought one for my twin boys when they were 9. Worked great and soft shooting. My 14 yr old niece shoots it as well but I add a slip on recoil pad to increase lop for her by about an inch. For a 15 year old I'd probably not get the youth model but that depends on the size of the girl. My niece is big for her age.

I've put about 1500 rounds through it with maybe 2-3 failures in the first 100 rounds. Since the break in period its been flawless.
