I have two BSS Sporters in 20ga, a 26" and a 28". There is nothing wrong with the Sporters for upland game. I also have a couple of Parker VHs in 20 gauge, both 28". The Parkers are lighter, trimmer, and prettier, but I have the great misfortune of living in California where we can't hunt anything with lead. The BSSs will digest anything I choose to feed them. I don't own any 21s (by choice) because they seem to handle like an expensive pig on the end of an expensive shovel.
