Browning BPS Deer Shotgun
I'm looking to get a Browning BPS Deer Hunter Shotgun hopefully by next year. Does anyone have any input about this shotgun. I'm a lefty, like the bottom ejection and think it would be a good gun. Any help is appreciated. A link is provided as follows: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?value=011B&cat_id=012&type_id=2 14

RE: Browning BPS Deer Shotgun
Great guns if you can afford them. Especially for sabot slugs because they have the faster twist rate.
Nothing bad to say about them other than they cost twice as much as remington or mossberg.

RE: Browning BPS Deer Shotgun
As another lefty and the owner of a BPS for 12 years I can say that you will really learn to love that gun.
Mine is a bit picky with respect to slugs. Seems it has a taste for the "good stuff" like 3" Federals, but it shoots great groups even 100 yards and beyond. I did find that it was not so fond of 2 3/4" slugs. Regardless of what I used, the 2 3/4" slugs just did not shoot as well as the 3".
I have never regretted buying that gun, and pick it up every time over my 870 Wingmaster.

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.

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.

RE: Browning BPS Deer Shotgun
heeze gutshot shortee,
My 870 is right handed, but I'm nervous b/c I don't know if I'll be able to find a left handed raised stock and a left handed cantilever barrel for deer. It just seems easier to look for aambidextrous shotty I guess. We'll see. Any suggestions?

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.
