Buy recommendations Semi auto shotgun for clays?

I’m currently using a Benelli Nova 3 for casual clay shooting and it’s been a blast so far. Now that I’ve been doing it for a bit I’m looking at upgrading to something a little faster, as trying to hit multiple clays in the air isn’t the easiest with a pump action. Anyone have any recommendations for a good semi auto that’s under $2000? Around $1500 would be ideal. I have no intentions of hunting with it, only busting clays.

Hi friend, i too started on a benelli nova pump for clays! its a wonderful shotgun. i recently got a beretta A400 (with the intent to use it for hunting too) and i love it as well. however, i would advise you getting a semi-auto wont help hit the clays any better (or it hasn't in my case) no real recommendations, but if clay is the only , why not a O/U? then you dont have to worry about cycling issues with light loads.
