Tough call, Don. Cheap doubles are rarely good, good ones are rarely cheap. And the cheapest ones have regulation probs and questionable longevity.
In your shoes,I'd look for one of the older SKBs, the Winchester 101, or a Miroku Charles Daly.The 26" barreled field models preferred. Then I'd have a good stocker fit the thing to the "Yute".

OK, here goes....
The ones I mentioned are good, add in the Lanber new. This is Spanish, lots of folks seem to like them over on Shooting Sportsman.
Both the Berettas and Brownings have their fans.
Browning after sale service seems pretty lackadaisical.
Beretta has good service,but their triggers oft need attention for best work. Their stocks have some odd dimensions also.
Both the B guns run well above $1K new, but used ones fall into your budget. One of these with a bit of work should give you a lifetime shotgun.
So would an old Superposed. These rarely come with choke tubes, but they last forever and rarely have regulation probs...

You might take a look at this website, I've gotten some great deals. If you don't have an FFL to pull it in for you they list dealers that will do it for a small fee. In my humble opinion I think you would do better getting an auto for a young person, the recoil is much less. My sons loved the Rem 1100 lt. 20 ga when they were young, as an added plus my wife likes shooing it. Anyway that's my .02 cents worth. I think you will like Gunbroker.
