While it ain't American, I do like my Benelli Montefeltro.

Honestly, there are not a hell of a lot of guns that fit all of those few criteria!

My A400 Xplor Unico KO says "Made in Italy".

I've owned Remington 1100s in 12 and 20 ga since the late 1960's and no problems. Just regular dove and duck season use with maybe a round or two of skeet thrown in. My light 20 is what I shoot sporting sub gauge with and has a few thousand rounds thru it, no problems.
However, I started shooting sporting clays about 20 years ago. Soon gravitated from Citoris and Beretta O/Us to a beretta 390, then a 391 U2. The 391 has way more than 30000 rounds thru it and all I've done is install a new recoil spring and kept it clean. No malfunctions, no broken parts. I can't say if the 12ga 1100 could have done this and won't speculate.
Depending the amount of use you plan to give it should help you decide. To this day if I'm going dove hunting I still take the Remington's and would shoot clays with them but not as my main gun.

Second the Beretta 391. Mine has tens of thousands of shells through it with no issues. And it points right where I'm looking every time.
I keep trying to convince my son to pick this one for his 21 birthday present, but he wants an SBE.

My 391 is real easy on the shoulder, accurate, and is an awesome error-free functioning shotgun!

To answer your question, it's pretty much Remington. The V3 looks pretty interesting.
Posted on 9/16/17 at 9:43 am to Chief0218
Remington 1100 is pretty much the only option in this category that I know of.

Mossberg 930.
But why you would spend that money on a Mossberg or Remington , I don't know.

Beretta A300 with wood. Made in Maryland I think.
Beretta A300 Outlander - Made in USA

Mossberg 930. Everyone will trash the Mossberg, but I suggest that you do some research and decide for yourself. It is used by many in the 3-gun community. Those guys can speak to its performance characteristics if you search some of the competition forums. The Remingtons are the only other choice that I know of that are American made.

Get the best of both worlds: designed by Beretta and made in the USA - Beretta A300 Outlander
Posted on 9/16/17 at 4:50 pm to Chief0218
European made is better.
Posted on 9/16/17 at 5:03 pm to The Last Coco
A300 it is. Thanks y'all
Posted on 9/16/17 at 5:14 pm to Chief0218
Remington 1187?
Posted on 9/16/17 at 5:17 pm to Chief0218
I'll vouch for the A300 as well but it's beretta which is Italian owned for what it's worth. But the a300 is a solid shotgun for under 1000$ and they are light, with surprisingly low recoil.

Mine is the camo version but I have nothing but love for my A300

Any Browning A5 12 made before production stopped in 1998.
