My short answer is no on the Daly....parts might be an issue down the road ...and it certainly won't maintain its value beyond the very short term / and as discussed, depending on where its made, it may not hold up to 10,000 shells -- let alone 100,000 or 250,000 shells...
Everyone has budgets....but Browning and Beretta have long given you the most gun for the money in their O/U's....if you can't find a Browning or Beretta used...consider a semi-auto ...or even a good long term pump gun as a better option ( like a BPS Hunter model ).
A kid that is just starting in this pastime ....doesn't need an O/U in my view ...../ and I think you're trying to reach a little too far on the Daly....to make it something its not likely to be long term, sorry...
