I was also looking for a nice grouse gun last year. I bought the Remington SPR310 in 20 gauge. The wood to metal finish is not that impressive, but like many others I made a little project out of re-finishing the stock and it turned out real nice. I think the 20 gauge is nice for grouse, the gun is light, points well, and i have not had any mechanical issues at all with it. I also use it on occasion to shoot trap.I think they are quite a value for the price.
