From experience, don't start him off with an Auto shotgun. He will burn through the shells like they are water.
I started with a 20 ga ithaca side by side (my moms gun) then got my own Savage SxS a few years later. At 12 I was given an Ithaca Model 37 pump.
The pump probably did more for my aim than the other guns. after each shot and rack, you have to find your sight plane again.
Personally, 6 will be too young for my son. He'll still be in BB guns at that age, no matter how good a shot he is.
I can remember many a morning sitting on deer stand with daddy with my BB gun. I woulda shot that sucker in the eye

A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.
