I use a browning bps 12 ga. mod. 3 in. chamber. Gun can be shot either left or right handed, which would be easier to resale if needed, because top safety and bottom ejection.

First off Thanks to all you guys and gals who responded to both of my topics "to buy or not to buy and Survey Says". I will get the results from ther other web sites and give you the heads up, for now the survey says the SP10 kicked on the 10 ga auto side. BPS 10 on the pump side, not much comp in this area. On 12 ga Everone wanted a Benelli SBE but bought the 11-87 in autos. Benelli NOVA 3.5 out did 870 hands down in 12 ga pumps. Numbers are on the way. Yhanks again.
As for me for the cost of a new SP 10 ga which I really wanted but needed to make my money go a little more I got this combo. A BPS 10 ga 26"camO, sling,HIVIS bar and soft case. 10 ga dies for my relaoder. 7lb bag of HeviShot,cases,primers,wads and powder enough for 56 rounds. Repaired my old 870 3"wingmaster with New 28" barrel with 3 choke tubes, new synthetic stock set , camoclad,swivels and
sling. all for under 1109.00 the cost of a SP10 with MONEY left over.

Browning Citoi in Lightning configuration 28" barrels 2 3/4 loads with either IC or Mod chokes. Next year I'll be going to the same gun in a 20ga if I can find shells that will give me the pattern I'm looking for out of my 20.
