Welcome aboard David.

There are a few differences between dedicated trap and field guns. Trap guns tend to have longer barrels, higher combs on the stocks, and typically shoot higher than field guns. Normally they have full chokes also.

I shoot trap with an old Wingmaster that I picked up for $159. It has a 28" vent rib barrel with a fixed mod choke. For trap singles, the shots are roughly about 35 yds and the mod works fine. The only thing I have done to it is add a new recoil pad and slightly shim the stock so it shoots 60/40.

If you are on a budget, why not look for a used wingmaster or mossberg pumpgun with a 28" barrel. While not dedicated trap guns, you can definitely break clays with them.
