If you are at all open to a pump gun, seeing as the O/Us and semis are mostly too heavy or over budget, there is the Benelli Nova - not every one's cup of tea because of the synthetic stock. I have one and it's a fine gun. 20 ga. 6.5 pounds, under $500.
Used Gun: Not a twenty gauge, but a fine, light semi - about six pounds - is the old Winchester Model 59, if you can find one on the used gun racks, the last one that I saw was well under $500. I'm sorry now that I didn't buy it; I may go back and see if it's still there.
