Firm rule, she can't buy one unless she can shoot one first. That should eliminate most of the high ticket items. Rule two it must be adequate for the job. A 20 will do that and a 2 3/4" shell will handle 90% of your shooting without busting the bank or her shoulder. That still gives her thousands of options that your wallet can live with. We all wanted a Corvette but most of us had to settle for a station wagon or a pickup truck. That's life.
