Get a Baikal MP-153. The company was bought by Remington about a year ago. For under 3 bills you can get a 3.5" semi auto with 4 extended tubes. A friend of mine bought one 2 years ago, and he bought a 2nd one over Christmas. They work fine, don't weigh alot, and are reliable in my observation. You do have to adjust the gas piston when you shoot low brass 2.75" inch loads though.
