I could be wrong but I don't think you could get an O/U that is worth owning with your budget. It won't be easy to find a semi either. Maybe a Stoeger or a TriStar?

If you look around a lot you can probably find a good used 1100 in that price range. With hunting season going out the window shotguns usually get pretty cheap in the pawn shops. I have bought decent 1100's for $250-$300 a few times while out messing around.

I agree with the others, forget about an O/U in that range. You might find a deal on a semi auto, but you will have to put in the work to find it. Honestly, you are in nice pump gun budget.

In that range, you could probably find an H&R Auto Excel. Good shotgun. I bought one at a Cabela's doorbuster event for $250. I think they normally retail for $300 or $350. I like it a fair amount, although I've recently supplanted it with a Beretta Outlander.

Buy the nicest 870 you can afford, and shoot it forever.

I bet you can get a used yildez in that price range.
