So I'm looking at getting my wife a new shotgun now that she's getting more interested in skeet shooting and bird hunting. She's 4'11", so the guns I get her have to be youth sized. Her current shotgun is the Rem 870 with the Hogue compact buttstock put on it (12" length of pull). She's great with it, but still has to really reach to pump it and isn't that fast at followup shots. So I want to get her an autoloader. Did some research and I think I'm going to settle on the Franchi Affinity Compact in 12 gauge (her 870 is a 12 gauge). However, looking at the buttstock, the compact's pad seems really thin compared to the larger Affinity's. Does anybody have a Affinity Compact 12 gauge? Is the buttpad worth a damn for a small statured woman?
