Recommendation for inexpensive 20 gauge semi auto

I agree on the look but you should consider that most doubles are really light in weight so there is somewhat of a recoil penalty for that. Something like a BSS has enough heft to mitigate recoil better than most Spanish and Italian doubles. I had an AYA 16 gauge double that was a pleasure to shoot with my 1oz/1150 fps hand loads but store bought Federal 1oz/1195 fps loads were most unpleasant to shoot!

Yeah, I guess he/she will have to decide which of the two activities they enjoy the most... and I guess I'm showing my bias toward chasing birds.
- A few clays at the end of the summer are just met to dust off the cobwebs... and while I've been known to every so often chase birds with a heavier trap gun (because), I'll usually prefer a lighter gun.
- In my mind, it's easier to add a recoil pad to a shooting vest for the days she'll be at the range... then teller her to muscle up to carry the heavier gun.
