Savage seems to be the inexpensive option for something like this (the venerable Model 24). Is there a more-perfect combination of calibers? Off the top of my head, I would guess something like 16-gauge/.22 magnum (not sure this was ever offered) would work to keep the weight issue down. The more practical version (best lethality, easy to feed) would likely be something like a .223 over a 12-bore? I'm sure there are european versions that are superior. I've nothing against drillings, other than I'm a southpaw and I've never seen one that would actually fit me. There is also significant cost associated with the better versions (and, of course, the age factor). I'm only (mildly) considering a more-practical "tool" at the moment. What says the cognoscenti here?
