For upland I prefer my Benelli Montefeltro 1st & foremost. (secondly is a tie between my Belgian A-5 16g & a Citori I cant count how many doves it's killed)

But pumpwise, for upland I'd go with my BPS. I have several pumps, Rem 870SM, Mossberg 835UM, Win 1300FW & an ancient Stevens 520 that my grandad got second hand when he was a kid during the Great Depression! The BPS is just an AWESOME piece of machinery, it makes other pumps feel like buckets of bolts.

Ithaca model 37, Remington 870 (wingmaster over the express) and the Browning BPS. All great pumps. My 2 cents.

1st choice 870 Wingmaster (just a lot smoother pump than the Express) Yes I have both.
2nd choice 870 Express
3rd choice Ithaca model 37

I have an 870 SM, and I can tell you that though it'll drop a bird in a heartbeat, it's way too heavy to be lugging it around in the ready position all day long. (my arms are still beat from last Saturday!). I'm seriously considering a crack-barrel for the all-day upland bird hunts like ruffed grouse, either a 20 or a 12, something around 6 1/2 lbs.

Where are the 1300 shooters?

The Winchester 1300 is a great field fun. Fast and smooth action. I shot one w/ a 28" barrel for several years at clay targets all sorts of feathered stuff.

Ditto. I got mine on my 16th birthday and I'm 44 now. It's hunted everything from squirrels to waterfowl to upland birds. Took it and my Supermag to Kansas this November to hunt pheasants and never even loaded the Supermag. Great guns.
