my friend had been mowing lawns this summer and now has some cash. he wants tobut a 12 gauge shotgun. he is looking to pay around 300$ for a pump or semi-automatic 2 3/4. he won't be shooting ducks. it will mostly be for skeet/trap. what do you guys think would be the right one? oh.. he is 15 and has a 20 gauge. i'mnot sure if his age will have any affect or effect ( which ever one it is) on your decision.
