First,take the lady to a range and let her try out some different shotguns and see what she likes. THEN,get her one.

I suggest trying a Remington 1100 in 20 ga. Available, durable, and parts are around if needed.

In O/Us,the Ruger Red Labels are popular, tho I regard them as a bit heavy in gauge and the balance isn't quite where I'd like it to be.

If you can find one of the Winchester 101s, or an older SKB in the Skeet models, she might like those.

Steer clear of the foreign made jobs for now, unless you know something about shotguns, you can get royally $%^&*ed.
