I bought a browning bps the first year they made the 10 gauge. It had the most beautiful wood and bluing you could imagine. It was only offered in 30 inch barrel at the time. I took it straight to Mark Bansner and had the barrel cut to 21 inches and a sleeve sweated in for a nasty choke. A couple rattle cans completed the camo job. That gun patterned federal copper plated 4s better than anything we ever saw at that time.
I hunted for 2 years with that gun and killed a lot of birds. I went on a couple extended hunts out of state and each time I came home it looked like the day after a championship mma fight. Black eyes bruised cheek split lip broken nose sore thumb bloody trigger finger from the trigger guard. My shoulder from bicep to pectoral muscle looked like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Short barrel and heavy shells made for a real hammer….on both ends.
I traded that monster in on a sp-10 and never looked back. A rhino choke and nitro 4x5x7 heavy loads complete the rig. I do have a 22 inch barrel with fiber optic rifle sights that I really like. softer recoil and quick follow up shots are nice. I love this gun. Turkeys hate it. lol
