    I'll throw out a Benelli Montefeltro or agree on the Franchi Affinity. I have both in walnut and can't visibly tell them apart although staying under $1000 may mean synthetic. I think my Montefeltro is a little smoother than the affinity though. I have more expensive shotguns (M2, etc.) and like my Monte the most. You can't go wrong with any of the "B" guns though.

            She needs to get him $1000 in an envelope and let him pick it out. While there are a lot of nice shotguns in that price range, fit and handling are a personal thing and of huge importance in shotguns, and no one on here can tell him the what is right for him. He might find one he likes and then make sure it is not junk before he buys it though

                  This right here.

                  I personally hate the way a beretta shotgun fits me and do not like shooting them.

                    and I cant stand the way a benelli cycles. Too much noise. I like the other B gun from 1980 303s to current xcels.

                    Have the guy go shoot some stuff before she spends her money

                        Beretta A300 hands down. If you go with the Outlander Composite the stuck is adjustable.

                            Been shooting a stoeger for 12 years and I can keep up with the high end brands with minimal maintenance. Benelli owns stoeger and uses the same parts on allot of it
                            X2, I love my m3500

                                I have not yet seen anyone complain about their Stoeger M3500. The Beretta A300 is a maximum of a 3" gun, which makes it less of an overall gun. The M3500 does 3 1/2" so if one wants to shoot geese or turkey, he's got that in the bag.

                                I have been looking too, and I am settling on the M3500 myself. A person can drive them self crazy trying to find the perfect anything.
