You should be able to find a bt 99 used for less than that

if your only going to shoot singles BT 99 is hard to beat for the $$$ if you want to shoot singles/doubles maybe look for a trap grade Citori/beretta if you can find one a Rem 3200 that aint clapped out... another good option

Any o/u with an adjustable stock and reasonable chokes will work well. A trap gun is a trap gun because it throws a high pattern, usually like 70/30 above/below point of aim. Any adjustable stock can be made to do that very easily, so it doesnt need to have “trap” in the name. Make it a heavy gun to soak up the cumulative effects of a couple hundred rounds in a session, mod/imp-mod or mod/full chokes, and youre in business.

BT99's are about as solid of choice for the money as you can get. My only issue with them was they seemed to kick a bit harder then other singles I shot so if a person is recoil sensitive I recommend shooting one before you buy it.

Probably the softest shooting trap gun I've ever shot was Remington 1100. If you can find one of the 1100 trap models that's in good shape and has been taken care of that wouldn't be a bad choice either.

CZ has a nice single barrel gun for $1300 or less.

If you are thinking used, I would go to a larger trap shoot and look. Always guns for sale, and you can shoot before you buy.

The one I shot, which belonged to my trap shooting mentor, had a Mercury shock absorber. Between that and shooting shells going around 1000 fps, recoil was minimal
