Dude, you cannot go wrong with the Mossberg ATR100 for 265.00 at Wally World. I think Academy is just about the same price. Not sure if Outcastcarries them, but if he is looking for a good gun at a very low price. I love mine. Just my .02 Good luck in your search either way. The next gun I will buy is the Savage with accutrigger. I love my daughters .243. It really is a nice feature and almost completely eliminate anticipation of the shot. You are suprised every time. Also very reasonable. You can get a rifle/scope combo for about 350.00 or so.
