The Remington 870 is certainly popular, but the Mossberg 500 is, in my experience, just as reliable and less expensive.

GET A 20-GAUGE!!!

Less recoil, and you won't chew up a bird with shot.

Run 7 1/2 or 8 shot, use a modified or Improved Cylinder choke tube and you're in business.

I prefer double barrel shotguns, but now we''re talking expensive unless you opt for one of the very well made Turkish guns imported under the Charles Daly brand by KBI.  I've tested a couple of these guns and they are first class, without the first class pricetag, and you find yourself using less ammunition!

Good luck!

if he's not opposed to a single shot, an H&R is cheap and reliable.  you can get them in 20 and 28 gauge too.

I was thinking the same thing, they even make a delux version that comes with a vent rib and choke tubes. It may be the way to go.
