Rem 700 sps tactical comes at 20" barrel, and it's a thicker barrel, so it shouldn't kick as bad as some of the lightweight shorties - it's definitely on my short list.
If you're okay with cutting something down you can also look around for something lightly used - you can turn it into exactly what you want, and might be able to save some money.
