I like the 20 gauge shotgun idea. I could envision them embracing the platform and potentially moving into additional firearms. Maybe they would try skeet or trap. Them being trained and proficient with the 20 gauge seems more likely to me than with an AK or ranch hand (lever action pistol). You can't go wrong with a pump mossberg or remington. Easy to understand function and safety, reliable, easy to clean, not too intimidating. Be sure to make it a complete gift with ammo and a couple "mandatory" range visits.

Let us know what you pick and how it goes. Great gift!
