Need a shotgun for Spoting clays, trap, and hunting. Main use will be target but hunting occasionally. Many have recommended Beretta Urika 391 autos. I like the look of an O/U, but do not have a lot of $$$ to spend-around $1000 max. I think a barrle length of 28" would be best utility for multiuse. Any info is appreciated.

There are a hundred answers to this question. Bottom line is pick a gun that fits you and has interchangeable choke tubes.
Any model by the major manufacturers will last a lifetime. The 391 is a great gun, that is what my dad shoots. I am attached to Browning SxS shotguns and semi auto's (old and new). The Browning over unders can be found used in your price range. You can get a Winchester semi auto or Browning semi auto for under a grand. Remingtons can be had also but I am a bit leary of quality control at Reminton.
Go to a gunshop that has a large selection and start trying guns on
Ignorance is a crime in 49 states. In the other one it is bliss.

There are a hundred right answers to this question.
I shoot an older Remington 11-87 for everything from doves to turkeys and even sporting clays. I have never had a problem with it (although I can't say that for every Remington I've ever owned) You should be able to find any brand name 3" auto (even Benelli) for under $1K. Used Remingtons usually sell for around $500 around here.
Used Ruger Red Labels, Brownings, and Beretta O/U's should be under 1K also.
Franchi has a nice O/U that can be found under 1K and I happen to know of someone selling a used one for $700.
Personally, I like a 26" bbl in an auto and 28" bbls in O/U's.
Good Luck!
