I was thinking of a Belgian browning. He was born in 2000 so I’m not sure there’s any “cool” guns from that year.

I have a pair of Belgian A5s passed to me that we’re my grandfathers. 12 and 16. I dated them to the early 60s. Old classics that shoot great. If not that then find out what he’s interested in.

A nice choice but believe it or not some shooters don’t like the old humpback because of the squared off receiver and the way it looks in the sight plane when shooting (my grandfather was one of them having used a Model 12 most of his life).

The Sweet Sixteen is a romantic favorite. The drawback is the 16 gauge is almost a dead round these days with ammo being hard to find and very limited factory choices compared to the 12 and 20.

I hope this doesn’t sound negative, just trying to share all sides

A darkhorse suggestion: A high condition or high grade original Winchester Model 42.
