You should pass on it and buy a better gun.

For strictly American singles trap, the BT-99 is a fantastic gun. It can only do that one game, but it does it very well. IF you are going to add trap doubles or skeet, or 5-stand or sporting, then you will need a gun capable of two shots. For your price range, look at slightly used semis from Remington or Beretta. If you go the semi route, get a shell catcher for trap singles so you don't tick off the guy to your right with empties flying his way
The cheapest gun you buy is the one you only buy once -i.e., buy the best quality, even used, you can |
