Back Story:
I took my friend shooting rifles and pistols for his first time right before the pandemic. He had a blast.
His son was coming up from Carolina last weekend and we discussed shooting as possibilities of things to do (there was a baby shower going on and he's going to be a grandfather so shooting is obviously the best solution for the guys)
We went to Loch Raven with my dad, who after he retired as a machinist shoots sporting clays almost daily.
They shot semis and over-unders and did really well.
My friend is looking to shoot more but with the current world situation he's looking for a shotgun just like every other person for taking to the range and having it at home.
I wanted to ask this collective about which semi to go with on a reasonable budget.
I'm not looking for 'he should have armed up 5 years ago' or suggestions for Franchi. :-)
Pretty much looking for lower budget semi or over under or S/S recommendations.
I don't post much but always learn from the community.
