Nothing wrong with used. I'd look for a Beretta 682 or any Browning if looking for o/u. For autos used the 390 sporting is a sure bet...not so much the Browning Gold (simply not as reliable when used for high volume target shooting). Again both fit VERY differently and fit is king.
At $3k there is no question i'd be looking at used o/u's. Tab's suggestion is evidence that there are better ways to spend that kind of dough. Again, be sure you're not buying a fixed choke gun.
Consider the conditions you'll be shooting in when checking fit. For a duck gun you'll want to be wearing your parka. For a clays/dove gun a t-shirt and maybe light sweater is plenty. Some longer stocked target guns will hang up at your armpit if you don't push out when mounting.
For autos look at 28" bbls, for o/u's a 30" is the comparable size (difference in receiver length). 26" bbl on an auto functions well but is not as condusive to smooth swings.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
