BPS, 870, Nova...which to choose???
 

I'm wanting a 12 gauge 3.5" for waterfowl upland and maybe turkey and deer in the future. I know I need an all around gun but am wondering if the bps is worth the extra money, i've pretty muchdecided on an 870 super magnum in black with a 28"barrel, a local dealer has a new one for $330. I can pick up a bps for more, but not sure if it's worth it. I'm also wondering about whether or not to get it in camo, kinda worried about the camo scratching off. Also, remington is offering 30 bucks back and browning is offering 75 off a 3.5 bps..

thanks

It is hard to beat the 870.

I have both a BPS and an 870. Each one has worked perfectly, but you wont regret spending the extra $ for the browning.-

Handle the guns and see what feels the best to you. If possible, try to find some that you can shoot a little to get an even better feel for the shotguns. Admittedly, I've never shot a BPS but have handled a few of them. My person preference (because of feel, performance, price and availability of aftermarket accessories) is the Remington 870.

Yup... Gotta go with the 870. I mean everybody's got one or has at least shot one. The 870 is the best "go anywhere, do anything, drop it in the mud pick it up and keep going, type of shotgun around".

I'd have to say go with the 870. I own the exact 870 your describing and it works great on ducks, gease and i also use it on grouse. Plus they have been around forever and are extremely reliable. Awesome guns

870all the way.you will never need to buy another shotgun again.

Here's another vote for the 870. I think $330 is a little high though. I bought several last year for $220 after rebates (black, blued 26" barell, 3.5"). In fact, just picked up a 02 gauge for my son for $200 after rebates.
