Another option would be a Miroku or Daly Model 500. Ive acquired two around the $500.00 mark by trolling the net. A great upland gun for wing shooting.

Another thing to consider is if, in the event your friend hunts the low hanging fruit, all he really needs is a single shot 12Ga. Those can be had for $100.00 or less.
