| Get him a single shot .410 gauge shotgun. The older H&R, now New England Firearms, can be had for less than $100 used. There is one at a local dealer right now for $85. Recoil is not near as much as the 12 gauge. Also, he can use it for rabbit or bird. Should deliver a slug out to 50 yards okay. Trying to find something that is not too long or heavy for a 12 year old is tricky. That's what .410's are for.
