My uncle was talking about introducing bobwhites on his lease, and I'm pretty excited, I know it'll take them several years to really take off, but in the meantime, is this the gun I should be saving up for?
The Browning BPS is an excellent choice. For me it"™s the only choice in that price range. The ejection is from the bottom so you won"™t be plinking your buddy"™s in the head with empty shells if you duck hunt in a blind.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a Remington 870 and a Mossberg 500 and pump the action. Then pump the action on the Browning. You will hear a clear difference in the mechanics of the receiver.
If you have the extra jack down the road, buy the Browning slug barrel for the BPS. I can drive tacs with mine at 75 yards using Federal Tru Balls. At 100 yards I"™m still well with in the kill zone. A couple inches at most. Good luck and enjoy.
I have had several bps as well as 870s,wins,etc. The bps is my all time favorite pump(after model 12 of course). I have NEVER seen one of them jam. Great function with tight tolerances and class is a hard combo to beat.

I've had a BPS stalker for about 15 yr's. I'm a lefty so the bottom ejection and tang safety make it south-paw friendly. The flat black finish and stock allows me to hunt turkeys without having it camo'ed. I've never seen a more solidly made shotgun. In my opinion, its the best pump made today. It's a gun that you won't wear out.
