My advice to you, would be to come out to our trap and skeet range next spring, and shoot some guns for yourself. Most members, myself included, have no issues in letting someone shoot a round of trap or skeet with one of their guns. The number one priority is finding a gun that fits you, as shotgun fit is very important , in allowing a person to shoot to his potential. I would however, avoid trap guns, as they are a poor choice for hunting, since they are usually quite heavy, and tend to shoot higher than skeet or field guns. I would choose a good quality field gun, by a reputable manufacturer, such as Browning or Beretta, which will be easy to find , with your budget.
 
The two 'B's is a good place to start; Browning and Beretta. You'll likely find something you like and that fits you well in their family of guns, and their quality and reliability is a known quantity.

Budget would easily range from about $1700 to whatever you want to spend for a beauty queen. You'll easily find a gun in your $3000 window.
 
Then again, does the OP really mean trap, or does he mean skeet, or perhaps both? Some people don't realize that there is a difference, or what the differences are. If I wanted to improve my wingshooting on birds, I would be shooting skeet, rather than trap. I used to own dedicated trap and skeet guns, but since I shoot both, as well as sporting clays, I sold both my trap and skeet guns, and replaced them with a sporting clays gun in 12 gauge, and another in 28 gauge.

This.

Finally someone looking at a good budget. Nothing worse than guys who want to get an O/U but limit themselves to a $600 budget. That's just a recipe for disappointment.
