A heads up, the Browning web site shows the BPS is discontinued, confirmed by my LGS, if your a fan and want one now is the time. It seems The Herstal Group is concentrating on the Winchester SXP line now.

What a mistake that would be,there is no comparison the sxp is a pos compared to a bps.I seen last week a lot of their models were discontinued but it still shows the bps 12 3.5 nwtf available. I have numerous bps guns and never a single issue.I also have two sxp which are decent guns.I don't think this would be a smart idea from Browning in the long run.

Link to this announcement please?

They do have a discontinued section for most of the firearms categories, but I see a large section of current 2019 BPS models...

The old model of BPS is no longer being offered.  A new version of the BPS will be on dealers shelves within two weeks. A few changes to the extremely solid platform to make it an even better gun!  :drool:

No way that Browning would drop the bps line for the sxp line.It is going from prime rib to hamburger meat.That would be the dumbest decision in the history of shotgun manufacturing,from anybody.The sxp have their place and are somewhat decent for a "beater" gun but the bps is a cut above,in every way.

Who does the BPS fit? I always liked them, but they never came close to fitting for wingshooting.

Like you said, rumors.

Production will be the same as it has been for decades. What IS changing are a few updates like an Inflex Recoil pad, oversized trigger guard for ease of use with gloves, new synthetic stocks that will allow for cutting to shorten LOP if need be and a new updated styling to the gun. Same BPS as we have all come to love.

I would suggest that if the new updates don't matter to you and you want an EXACT twin to your old BPS.....buy one now.

How did you come by this info...............?



Let's just say a VERY reliable source.  :icon_thumright:

I wish I could confirm this as well. I am in the market for a new pump gun and would like to know if I should wait or not

Because Browning is going to give out secret info to a random caller!

Bet we see the BPS II in Bottomland camo!!

Integrated swivel hole in stock, works fine for me!

28" bbl in Bottomland will get bought if it exists!!!

Browning is really impressing me these days!!!

I don't see them in pics and it says none in the list of options.I assume it has them my other handful do.I want a new one for waterfowl I think.I just like pumps and the bps is the "king" for me. I don't see any newer options that will make me wait or hold off on buying one that is already out as they fit me perfect but I do believe it is a great idea to make the changes they did.

If I can't get a newer model in my hands within 6 weeks,I will just go and buy an older model,maybe they will go on sale around here.
