I have one, and also BPS turkey gun. And here is my big gripe. If they want to sell it as a deer gun that needs a scope mounted, they need to put a stock on it that is made for such. I also have a gold deer hunter, and same thing. You would have thought I would have learned with the gold before the BPS. You have to lift your cheek off the stock to shoot.
Even remington puts a high raised comb on thier "slug deer" guns.
I just learn to dealwith it, but have been planning for a while to remedy the situation with a padded kit, or new stalk. Problem is my BPS is mossy oak, and my gold is stalker.
One big difference between Remington's cantilever scope mount barrels and Browning's cantilever scope mount barrels is that the Remington cantilever is very high off the barrel. The gap is HUGE! Even when using low mount rings the scope sits very high on Remington's needing theraised cheek piece stock. The Browning's cantileversits righton top of the receiver. There is very little gap. The few Browning's I've handled seemed to be fine without theraised cheek piece stock. Another thingRemington needs to do is start using a faster twist barrel in their 12 ga.like browning and a few othersdo. I've always owned Remington shotguns. I'll be looking at Browning shotgunsnext though.

Well, let me put it this way, I can leave my cheek on my Rem1187 with a 1.5-5X20 leupold, with low millet rings. With both my brownings, you have to lift your cheek well over 1" with my 2-7X Leupold VXII's.Its fairly well known issue among us browning issues.
