Been talking to a friend and very trusted firearms resource, who is also a sworn game and fish officer down here.
He actually recommended a Remington 870 20 gauge youth, I think the barrel was 21".

The gun actually felt great in my hands, small, light, and versatile, with the ability to chamber 3" rounds.

The lenghth of the 18" barrel security model is 38.5 inches overall, and the 21" Barrel youth 39" being that the stock is much shorter. This gives it a tighter spread for hunting purposes, and still the manueverability for combat purposes.
