Rob and Marklart - I bought the 12 ga. BPS upland when first introduced with 22" Invector barrel. This shorty was like a riot gun. I added a 26" barrel later. Sold the gun long ago. But the new BPS upland in 16 ga. really tempts me as an backup for bad weather. I mostly use a straight grip 16 ga. M-21 for pheasants, and would no longer have to lug along both 16 and 12 ga. shells on SD trips. Any excuse to consider another gun!
