If you are willing to watch gunbroker you could probably get it for less. An adjustable stock AR15 gets pretty short. An extra $50 and you can put a Bushnell TRS-25 on it. That is 30 rounds, and I can't imagine them having to reload. If you weren't worried about slugs going through walls, the .223 isn't going to be worse and can sometimes be better. Also about a pound heavier than pump shotguns so should still be easy enough for them (6.5 lbs).

Very mild, much faster reloads(even for the not-so-gun-savvy), and a smith could take an extra 1" off the stock and fit a new pad, if needed (you can do it yourself, without much trouble, too). I know that's really pushing the budget, but it really is an easier shooting/handling weapon than a pump shotty.
