Rem. youth model just recently and found that length was exactly the problem. The forearm is so far forward that my hand was only on the last few inches without stretching. A man had his sons with him and they were trying one out, barely reaching the forearm. My first gun was a Rem. 870 20 ga. Magnum model when I was 13, and I don't remember it being like that. My mod. 500 20 ga. isn't a stretch to hold, and my Maverick 12ga. definitely isn't. Those two guns are lower priced, lighter, and better finished. They came with vent rib barrels with choke tube[s] and 18.5" cyl. bore plain barrels, too! I handled the 20 ga. Rem. youth model just recently and found that length was exactly the problem.
