Hey flies, I think you are absolutely right, anopen choked 20 ga. is a very good grouse gun, although I use an open choked 28 ga. with 1 oz. of shot most of the time. I found several models of sxs and o/u s made by a Russian company called Baikal. They're not fancy but they're very light and they work. Cost between $300 and $400 and when you bang the stock against an aspen and scar both, you won't really care.
