Which version would be best for my 12 year old nephew ?
Was wondering if the 18.5" barrel would pattern as good as the 21" barrel version ?
Anyone had experience with both ?

I have no experience with the 18.5" barrel but I can tell you I have 3 with 21" barrels and they all pattern awesome, with both the old Fed. HW#7's and tss. lot's of guy's on here shoot the compact 21" with amazing results that would be my choice

Yes it will pattern just as good. I have put together four with the 18.5” barrel. They will all do over 300. One consistently hits 360+ with Ronnies Hornet load
