Lots of people have shot trap successfully for many years with Winchester Model 12's, Remington 870 Wingmasters and Browning BPS pump guns. Probably lots of other brands as well. Some might disagree with me, but as long as the gun shoots where you point it, you can shoot trap just fine with it. Sadly, the Model 12 is no longer manufactured and used ones can be pricey. The Browning BPS is in your price range and a darn nice pump gun. Some ranges get excited because of the bottom eject - the less observant can't see that the chamber is empty and the action open. The Remington 870 in one of it's many variants will work fine. Maybe have a look at a Benelli Super Nova in addition to some of the others just to compare.
