I just went through this process this year. I ended up going with the Mossberg 500 turkey Optic Ready. It comes with a Holosun 407k installed. It sits low enough on the gun that my 10 and 8 year olds can get a good cheek weld on it.
Also, the 500 is still USA made, and that was something that I wanted.
I did cut the stock down so it fits them better. I kept the part I cut off and can epoxy it back in place if the need arises.
I prefer the Burris to the Holosun, but I use Holosun on some other guns and am completely confident in it.
My kiddos love shooting this gun.
