So like the title says, went skeet shooting for the first time and it's about the most fun I've ever had with a firearm.
So now I'm looking to purchase my own shotgun for trap, skeet, etc. I was looking around for an inexpensive over and under shotgun - looked at the Mossberg silver reserve, Stoeger Condor, the CZ Mallard and a few others. I basically came to the conclusion that I should forget about an over and under shotgun until I can afford a good one.
So with that said, my budget is around $500.00 (poor college student here). I began looking for a 12 gauge semi-auto and narrowed it down to one:
The Mossberg 930

I've seen a lot of recommendations for the Beretta 300, and the Remington 1100-11-87 but they're just right outside my price range.
I was looking for opinions/suggestions from you fine folks
