The browning BPS and the Ithaca are very similar with the bottom loading/ejecting. Just not sure which one I should get. Maybe I should just go to the store and hold them. From what i read the Ithaca company is hreat as craftmanship (well the new company). I also jeard browning doesnt build their own pieces now. Having said all that i think im leaning more towards the ithaca. For turkey and pheasant would you recommend I get a 28" barrel?
