Very nice deal

Yes you stole that Daly Miroku, great gun, even better price.

I recommend the good old 311 series. There are right around one Zillion of the darn things available used. Typically the shorter barreled guns (24") are choked IC / Mod and may be a better choice with current manufactured ammo.

They are heavy enough to mitigate some recoil vs. the single shot guns. So many of those single shots are so darn lightweight your new shooter may choose to fire it but one time.

In addition to the ones branded Savage / Stevens are the department store mutts. Sears and Western Auto both sold a variation of the 311. Might be finished a bit different, or have a Birch stock.
They are quite serviceable and the Dept. store name helps for a favorable price.

I prefer to start new shotgunners out with a break open gun. Very safe design.
Cut the stock short if it is not already and add a good pad. Now you have a short LOP gun. Now buy a slip on pad at Wally World, make sure it is a very tight fit, they come in three sizes. Add it for more LOP.

Hard to beat, and cheap too.
