For my $.02:
870 is hard to beat.
I had a winchester 1200 from the late 60s. Everyone poo-pooed them
but I never had a problem.
Winchester Model 12 was always the standard of comparison, but they are pricey.
If I were going to buy a shotgun now, I'd buy an 870. Relatively
cheap and
I'll also vote for the Mossburg 500, I've got one too, I was 14 when I got mine
though. I got a slug barrel for mine, handy little gun.

Thanks for the suggestions, Mitch.
One thing I failed to mention was that given the choice, I would prefer not to
have a pump action shotgun, if possible. I realize the 870 is pump action, but

Well, unless there are affordable high quality imported doubles from Italy,
Spain or Russia (I don't know what your idea of affordable is, some of the
Russian stuff is in the $500-1000 range now), I'd go with that HR single shot.
What about a Citori or Stoeger? Are they decent? He'll want something that he
can hunt with as well as shoot trap (for fun, not competition.)

We've gotten out of my area of personal experience, but Browning Citori models
have a good reputation, and I don't think Stoeger imports junk. The Trap and
Skeet ranges would be fine places to find shotgun experts who just love
My FIL passed along a Browning Citori that he bought many years ago to
shoot clays with, he said it was one of the best all-around guns there
was. I think it is worth a fair amount now.

If he was into enough to show some long term commitment I would probably buy a
Ruger Red Label, as they can be had for decent $$ and hold their value, too.

That's my gun-buying philosophy in a nutshell, and has led to an

I have shot clays most successfully with a Remington Sportsman

I find my Winchester Model 50 recoil operated semi-auto in 20ga. ti be
a delightful shotgun. I shoot duck, pheasant, quail, etc. with it, as
well as some trap. That having been said, I used to be pretty good at
trap with the Harrison 410 single-shot.
