Rem 700, 30.06, 4-12 scope, should serve you right for the start.

To the guy whose dad has a Charles Daly shotgun with "20 boxes through it and it still shoots great..." 20 boxes through a shotgun is NOTHING. That's only 500 rounds. If it didn't still shoot great, I'd be seriously raising some he!! with the store where I bought it and with the manufacturer. I've got a Browning Special Sporting Clays that shotmorerounds than that every month for 8 years, and still shoots great...
ShaTo: The Cabela's gift certificate sounds like a great idea. That way you can hold onto it until you save up the additional $500- $1000you would need to pickup a nice Beretta or Browning O/U 20 ga.

Well lets see,I bought the gun for him in September,our Pheasant opens in October.Two case of clay birds,a few roosters and some sharpies.Never claimed him to be a world champion shooter,or a clay bird slayer.I figured for a old guy the gun will last him the rest of his days,thanks for pointing it out ipscshooter.

BBJ: Sorry, the tone probably came off wrong when I typed that. I wasn't suggesting that it wasn't a good shotgun. I just thought it was way to soon for saying "He's shot 20 boxes and it still works great". That's something I would say after shooting for a long time. By saying "still" it gave me the impression that you thought thatwas a lot of rounds and you were pleased that it had lasted that long. When it's still a relatively new shotgun, I'd say "he's shot 20 boxes and he loves it." Again, sorry if I sounded harsh. I really didn't mean it that way.

.50 Alaskan? That's crazy! The one that almost made me laugh was the .20 TNT.
I saw they didn't have the Dakota calibers. What's the big deal about the Dakota calibers? I saw that the custom rifle makers charge extra for a gun made in a Dakota caliber. Why????

I told my son that I really like the looks of the TC encores, and that I was wanting a different muzzleloader. Its tough when you're trying not to give it away that you know what they are up too. Maybe, they'll figure it out. Either way I guess it doesn't matter.
What site are you talking about, It may be useful any way..

Whoa! Those are some weird calibers there! I never knew that there was a .14 caliber rifle!!!!!
