First Shotgun for Trap shooting?

Almost every gun reviewer claim that these Turkish made bullpup shotguns are great for stuff like hunting and trap. Seeing that all of these bullpups are way under the $1000 price point, I say give one of these a shot.
 
Look at an old browning auto five
They used to be big back in the day
You can load single loads very fast because of the magazine cut off
 
just dont go with a 410 when i first tried skeet i used a 410 i only got 4 outa 5 on my ever shotgun shooting it was range day when going to get my license all those years ago at a place called cold creek just north of Toronto,,,,,,, post 3 ? and no i wont stop at just 3 lol
 
If I was on the market for a trap gun for under $2000, I'd probably look for an older Citori Trap 30" barrels with fixed IM/Full. I'd be buying it for the idea of expanding into Bunker. You can find them for about $1000 - $1500. If I had to have a new gun, then I'd probably go for a Huglu HT-14 or an Akkar Churchill 206 Trap.
 
I think you answered your own question. If all you're looking to do is shoot a few rounds of casual trap now and again then just get a Benelli identical to what you are using now. If however you're looking to shoot high volumes and becoming seriously involved then you are entering a whole different realm and will want a dedicated trap gun. As mentioned an older Browning Citori or Beretta 682, something along those lines will serve you well.
The Gun Dealer in McAdam, NB has an older Citori Trap Combo listed for $1999...would be a hard gun to beat in that price range if it is in good shape. 34" single and 32" o/u bbls.

A first gun should be an all-round gun. The OP might be shooting trap now but may want to try other games and a trap gun is a limited in what else it can do. A modern semi-auto with choke tubes and a barrel length between 26 and 28 inches is the best choice IMO. No ancient Auto 5s and certainly no bullpups.
