Default RE: Browning BPS shotgun?

Great gun. Would be all you ever needed in a shotgun, though you may want to consider either an auto or double barrel depending on what clay game you're shooting. With something like trap you'd be perfectly fine with a pump. With something like skeet or sporting clays, I think you'd feel disadvantaged by having to pump when facing 2 clays at a time. Certainly people manage and it's possible to pump nearly as fast as an auto or double gun can put out shots, but it's one extra thing to think about. I shot skeet many times with my pump, and still do from time to time. I'm really not all that great at it because I don't do it often enough, but pumping the shotgun isn't usually the cause for me missing birds. I hunt turkeys with my pump...never had to take a second shot, but I'm quite sure a turkey wouldn't have been able to disappear in the time it took to pump another shell into the chamber.
