May I ask why you want an SBS?

I have an 870 with a 18.5 barell and it is pretty darn compact even with the fixed butt stock. If a guy was so inclined, he could mount a folder or collapsing stock on it to make it a bit shorter.

I am a huge devoted fan of the 870. It is my number one go to gun out here on the ranch. It was less than $350 brand new and very, very reliable. Also, there are tons of aftermarket goodies available for it if a guy wants to trick it out. I'm telling you you can't go wrong with the 870.

I looked at the Benelli (sp?) and they are good too. My good friend and duck hunting partner has one of their shotguns which will chamber 3 1/2 mags. Performs like a 10 gauge on geese. Also a great gun, but the Remington is less money for equal quality in my opinion.
