Just got done test firing my Browning BPS slug gun tonight.. Shooting the Hornady SST slugs... it shoots very well 2-3" group at 100yds... Killed 6 deer w/ it already. I picked it up off the used rack at Gander Mtn for $250... and it was unfired w/ the cantilever barrel. Slapped on a Nikon Prostaff 2-7 x 32 and shoots as good as I can.
I already had a BPS bird gun that I'd slapped on an aftermarket Ithaca cantilever/rifled barrel ($200)... It would jam on certain shells.. Gander's gunsmith had tried to repair it already so they allowed me to return it for $200 store credit... and added $50 to get the BPS slug gun... figuring that the Browning cantilever barrel was $300 by itself.. I figured it was a no brainer... and now I have a dedicated bird & slug gun... for less than the price of the Browning barrel.
