Since its introduction in 2009, the Weatherby SA-08 Synthetic semi-auto has become known for its trim feel and light weight, as well as the exceptional value afforded by the $449 price tag.  The shotgun is available in either 12 or 20 gauge with 26- or 28-inch barrels.  There is also a youth model with a 12 ½-inch length of pull and 24-inch barrel.  For more information, go to http://www.weatherby.com/product/shotguns/semiauto/sa08_synthetic or visit a local Weatherby dealer.
