As has been pointed out, a long tang Superposed would not have the Schnabel forend, but would be a fine choice and there are some good bargains in the 12 gauges in Supers. $1500 to $2000 gets you into a pretty good 12 gauge Super in Good to VG condition. Value-wise that would be my choice.

If he looks around he can find either a used 686 Beretta Silver Pigeon I or a new/used Browning Citori White Lightning with Schnabel forends and POW grips in that price range.

What exactly is he going to be using this for? That would greatly impact the choice of gun if it is more for Skeet/Trap or SC's or Upland Hunting or a combination of these.

Good luck finding something.
