Yeah, that was my main goal, get a compact light gun for grouse hunting.

My original idea was to get an 1187 youth model, but the LOP was just going to be to short and I don't want to mess with adding a stock, not knowing if it will be right or not. Nobody else that I know of makes an auto with a 24" or shorter barrel made for full size people.

Remington doesnt make a 870 shorter than a 26", then I found the BPS upland. I'm open to other suggestions as well. I prefer auto's or pumps.
