Shotgun choices for a Woman

[LimbNoMo]

Has she fired a shotgun before?

My fiance, very soon to be my wife, expressed the desire to shoot skeet and do some upland game. What shotguns are made for a woman so that she can be comfortable and shoot well. My sweetheart is 5' 2" and modest build, do not know her LOP yet. Appreciate hearing from all members that have knowledge of shotguns for ladies. I noticed a slight downside to this marriage thing, she has cast her eyes on my Chapuis double in 9.3 x 74R, likes the wood and engraving. At a recent SCI banquet my bud said his wife has taken control of some of his shootin' irons. Oh well, just an excuse to buy more I guess. I know the enablers here will help me out. Thanks for the input.

She gets the Chapuis—you get a new Heym etc. I solve problems. It’s what I do.

I got a Benelli Montefeltro 20ga for my son when he was 12 or so. It came with a short stock. When he grew we found an adult stock. It has some shims to adjust cast off/on. I think it kicked pretty damned hard even with low base target loads. It’s been super reliable. It weighs nothing. I’d probably go gas over inertia if I had it to do over.

Thanks to everyone for the kind replies. This enters a new arena for me. Looking forward to helping my sweetheart get the right gear. She has already purchased a complete outfit of Lady Beretta clothing. She is excited to say the least.

Gotta look the part. LOL.

Let us know what she decides on.

My wife chose the Syren Elos D2 and has been very happy with it. Ordered through August Crocker who was great to deal with.
Although it is a lighter field gun, the recoil is not a problem for her to shoot a round or two of sporting clays.
