Bought my son the Weatherby SA-08 when he was around 8 and it's been a great gun. We started off with the low recoil shells which effectively makes it a single shot, which is fine for a kid that age. He very quickly moved to regular loads though so he could shoot at doubles like the other kids.
We did the 4H thing and the shooting instructor was awesome. Had him breaking clays on his first day which got him hooked.
The semi's really take the recoil out. There were a few kids out there with single shot .410's and they were miserable. They'd try my son's gun and then show up with one the next week. I should get a commission from Weatherby.
As far as growing with them, that's kind of difficult. You put a full size stock on them and then you have an awkwardly short barrel for a full size gun. Good reason to buy a new gun.
