If you're even half serious about sport shooting (Trap, Skeet, or Sporting Clays), you should be looking at $1200 - $1400 used or $1500 - $1800 new as a starting point. The cheap over/unders will not hold up to that volume of shooting.
It hasn't been around long enough to have the final verdict in yet, but the SKB 90TSS looks like a good deal. It is available with either right-hand or left-hand wood and 28, 30, or 32 inch barrels. Its predecessor, the 85TSS was a very popular sporting O/U, and had a reputation as a durable shotgun, and was considered to be the most bang for the buck among entry-level sporting guns.

Hi,
For a really good combination of shootability and reliability for the buck, Browning's Citori line is hard to beat. Some of the Italian guns are more "shootable" but may need more attention over a given amount of shooting to maintain reliability, and will be a bit more pricey.
If one can find a Red Label, it MAY hold up to high volume shooting, but you'll want to shoot one first to see how it feels to you. When the RL first came out, most of our clay target shooters who tried one at the range I was running at the time thought it felt just a whole lot like a club so they never shot 'em long enough to give 'em a real good "long term test" run. Dunno if subsequent versions cured that or not. Ruger also had a hard time figuring out a dedicated target gun with an automatic safety was not a desireable combo, so they offered to modify it if one wanted to send it back to the factory. It should have shipped the way they "fixed" it the first time...
The price ranges wwb suggests sound about right to me, too.
