Yea I figured an over-under thats less than 1000 is probably too good to be true. After looking more online tonight I think I'm going to go with a Mossberg or a Browning. I'm leaning a little more towards the Browning because of the bottom ejection. I really don't feel like getting hit in the face with a shell if I'm shooting doubles.
My overall intentions is to shoot skeet and trap and maybe go bird hunting after I get the mechanics of shooting at clays down. From what I understand skeet is a game since you stand at different stations and shoot from different angles. I haven't shot trap yet but I think I'm going to this weekend. I guess trap is a little more like bird hunting. Either way, shooting at moving targets seems like a lot of fun to me.
I've been a pistol shooter mostly, shooting at paper targets and occasionally steel plates. Shotguns seem like a lot of fun to me and I'm really looking forward to getting my own here soon.
My budget is some what arbitrary just to put a limit on myself so I didn't go out a buy some ridiculous gun that I'm no where near good enough to use properly. If I have to pay a little more to get a pump shotgun that I'm going to like and be comfortable with, I will.
