What Jim mentions is true - jack of all trades shotguns do nothing well and are a compromise in every aspect used. Typically, they then become jack handles of all trades and masters of nothing.
As cheap as pump guns are, you might want to consider having two - one set up with your short barrel, scope, etc. and the other set up for your other pursuits
Personally, I would much rather have several guns designed for specific purposes and fitted/outfitted accordingly than trying to make one do everything - but that's JMO
