For 4H I went with the CZ scout (455/457 either is good). It meets the specs for 4H and comes with a single shot mag block. You can purchase a 5 or 10 round mag for when not shooting 4H events.
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Now I just wonder if I can find one locally.

We have a Golden Boy, and we may just start off with that and see how it goes.
