I’m willing to bet most people do better with at least 24” on woodcock and grouse and agree about rabbit and squirrels.They're actually great for grouse and woodcock, as well as rabbit and squirrel.
You cannot beat the utility of the pump guns for utility, particularly the 870; It, and the 500 you did not care for, are the lego shotguns. You can configure them any way you want to, and quickly with minimum fuss. I recommend looking at the Magpul stock available for both of these guns. Not only is the LOP adjustable, the comb height is also. I actually was considering one of these for my 870 for Trap, and a friend did have one on his Trap Win. SPX. (Note to George P: He has an a400 Parallel now, and is shooting it well!)
One of those stocks, an 18 or 20" Choke tubed barrel, and you have most everything covered; add a 28 or 30" choke tubed barrel, and you have everything covered.
If you are set on a SxS, and will be putting a couple boxes a year through it, the Stoegers will suffice, but not excel at any one thing.
