A step up from the classic Field BPS with full panels of engraving, select walnut stock and high polish, deep bluing.
Not an ordinary BPS. No other pump shotgun offers a more inviting pallet for art than the BPS. Both side so of the fully engraved model feature beautifully detailed engraving scenes on both sides of the machined steel receiver, that endow your shotgun with a personality of its own. Some pumps are just pumps. This is an heirloom to be passed along to the generations.
The guts under the beauty. The proven pump-action features rugged steel components. The receiver is machined from a solid block of forged steel. Rigid double slide bars are made from heat-treated steel to eliminate twisting and binding for faster, more efficient slide-action operation. Reliable in all conditions. A convenient serrated slide release is located at the rear of the trigger guard.
Polish and more polish. The blued finish is ultra-deep exactly as you expect from a fine Browning. The polish protects the steel surfaces of which there are plenty on this shotgun. Dual action bars keep the slide and bolt in totally alignment all the time and you can feel it as you work the action. The feeling of steel on steel is more akin to a fine over and under than a pump action shotgun.
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
