I have been shooting clays for a few years, long enough to have some clue about shotguns. I have shot everything from a 50 year old $12.00 Montgomery Ward 12 ga. to guns worth 10's of thousands of dollars (Perazzi, Krieghoff, and Kolar).

First, skeet is not a clay target, skeet is a game played using clay targets. There are some guys using pump action shotguns for shooting skeet, but they are far and few between.

I would strongly advise that in your budget, you do not even consider an over and under. You will be better served by a pump action gun. All the pump action guns you are considering are good guns, NONE of the over and unders below $500.00 are good guns. I would not even consider buying one.
