From the use you describe I think I'd be looking for a gun that would ultimately be a throw-away. Expecting a quality gun to do all of that would be optimistic as most quality guns are specialty guns to some extent. For the $ you mention you could get three or four 600 series Berettas of different conformations and not have to compromise any of your intents.
JMO but your expectations seem somewhat unrealistic.
Yea, but....
I'm guessing the OP has no illusions about shooting for Olympic gold with his duck gun. The limits on waterfowl are such that he can shoot a few mallards or geese with the gun he uses to kill an afternoon at his local clays range.
The bigger problem I see is we know precious little about him, actually. Medium sized guy? Short, fat guy? Tall, rawboned guy? Younger than 30, or, older? Able to look at an adjustable stock without vomiting a little in his mouth? Do you shoot 1K rounds a month, or 50? Hey, I enjoy a beer drinking league that has a trap shooting problem as much as the next guy.
Some of this has to be nailed down, before anyone can recommend anything at that price range.
Lots of guns that would serve well, for much less than he is looking to spend, would be my first thought.
And, I'll let it go at that.
Best,
Ted
