I wouldn’t presume to tell you what brand, but make sure whatever you buy fits him. Shotguns are all about fit. For instance, I can shoot the heck out of a Citori Field Grade, but the Citori Sporting shoots too high. I can’t hit a bull in the azz with a Berretta, but a cheap Savage or Mossberg fits me well.
My best friend hunted doves with me for several years using a Remington 870 pump, he averaged about 3/5 birds per box of shells……really ! One day I badgered him into using my Beretta AL390 and he almost limited out with a little less than a box, and that was when the limit was 15. He bought one identical to mine and sold his 870 !
Can’t emphasize it enough…..FIT !

I have a Beretta WhiteWing that I couldn’t shoot consistently with, you know the miss 5, hit 3, miss 4 or 5 etc. I finally took it to Briley’s in Houston and had it fitted, they took 1/4” off the pitch added a Kick Eze pad and my eye is right down the barrel every shot!

After buying I got to shoot both side by side. Guess which one I shot better
