Rant mode on...

Well you've obviously got a Remington guy bending your ear.. so I'll let that one fly. But if you ever get to shoot/hold a BPS.. you'll see the difference. The BPS is just built better. It doesn't rust if wherever you touch it. Can't tell you how many brand new on the shelf Remingtons I see on a daily basis that are rusted where everyone graps them. Never seen it on the Brownings... that are sitting right next to them.

My BPS w/ a 28" barrel and a Browning/Winchester turkey choke will out pattern my fathers 870 w/ a 28" barrel and Jelly Head choke by about 15-20 pellets... no matter what shells we put through it.

Who says it's more complicated to have the shells eject out the bottom? Well it may be since Remington can't figure it out on their new autoloader that was supposed to be out months ago... but still isn't available because they're having issues w/ it.

Rant mode off.

Pick whichever one you are more comfortable with... in the end if it makes you happy then that's all that matters. But if you buy the Remington.. don't ever shoot the BPS... because you will start kicking yourself in the arse repeatedly.
