I would like to get into skeet shooting and I was wondering what is a good shotgun to begin with. Im thinking semi auto or over/under, but my price range is around $500. Any suggestions?

Get a good used Remington 1100. They ruled the skeet fields before the over and unders became the more fashionable choice.
The Beretta 391 would be my first choice for an auto-loader. I think they are better guns than the Remingtons, but unfortunately it'll be hard to stay around the $500 mark.

It is a cheap simplified copy of a Beretta O/U, using mostly investment cast parts. However, it is a better shotgun (lasts longer shooting Skeet) than one big name Japanese gun that costs twice as much and typically needs sears, hammers, and/or springs at 16K to 20K shots.
Brazilian guns are very cheaply made, even worse than Turkish, and will not last long with any amount of practice shooting.
