Shotgun Questions

[Recked]

Hey, I am new to the world of firearms and have some questions I was hoping someone could help me with.

I am mostly interested in trap/skeet/sporting clay shooting.
I have done some research and I think I want to purchase a 12g Benelli Supersport. It looks like I can purchase it new for about $2500 + tax or try and get it used for about $1800 - $1900.

Is there a better gun in this price range that I should be looking at? I want something that's reliable, accurate, easy to clean, and semi automatic.
Is there much of a difference between the 28" model and the 30"? I am leaning towards the 28"
Is this likely to come up for sale on the EE forum? I have access but no idea if this is something I will have to wait a couple months to see or if I will still be looking this time next year. I just passed my pal/rpal test and have sent the paperwork in, so I have a while before I am even eligible to purchase it.
How do I get access to the WTB section of the EE forum? I can see the WTS/WTT but the WTS still has the locked icon like the EE forum had before I was given access.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome, sorry I can't answer your questions about the Benelli, but you will probably find you will get more responses to this if you post this in the shotgun forum, there are a lot of knowledgeable people on there when it comes to shotguns.maybe someone can chime in to answer your questions on the EE. Good luck in your hunt for the shotgun you want!
