Today a friend of a friend shot a shotgun for the first time. 12 gauge. Clay targets. The guy he was shooting with has some fancy, schmancy O/U guns he let this person use. A very good time was had by all and many clays were killed or disabled.
Now just supposing this person might want to buy a shotgun. Crazy, right? But just suppose. Not fancy, schmancy. The guy who hosted him said a reasonably good semi-auto gun that is completely appropriate for clays can be had pretty reasonably, especially if used.
What do you guys think? Recommend? Say a budget of $500 or less. I'm sure this person will appreciate all responses. Just so you know, he is asking the question this way in case his wife might see the forum. I'm sure you understand.
Oh, and let me stipulate that this person tends to like firearms that are lighter rather than heavier and smaller rather than larger. For what it is worth.
