RE: Browning BPS ..opinions
I've shot my father's BPS quite a bit. I love those guns. They take the best of the other pumps and make the ultimate pump shotgun. Mossberg's safety, Ithica's bottom load/eject, solid pumping action like Remington and Winchester. Hard to go wrong with the BPS.

very nice shotgun i didnt care for the low front bead to i changed it out with a hi viz one, it took all of 5mins to do so. just heat teh barrel up with a blow dryer first to losen up the locktight then put a rubber band on your pair of pliars so it doent destroy the bead and shes come right out. I mostly shoot trap with mine and shes done me good so far.

RE: Browning BPS ..opinions
I actually like shooting shotguns and bird hunting more then rifle hunting or shooting. I have been away from it for a long time and wanted to get back into bird hunting. A BPS was an after thought and Iinstead looked at Remington 870,Ithaca 37 as decent pump guns. After looking at my BPS and seeing the features they have..there is no pump even close. All nicely machined steel parts(no beer can parts) forged reciever and a back bored barrel...doesn't get better then that

IMO the old Model 12 can't hold a candle to the BPS.
