Title: 3" Chamber, 28" Barrel, Browning BPS Hunter in the House!!!

I know, I know,..............why did I want a polished-blue barrel and receiver on a 12 Gauge pump?  It was simple.  I already had a couple of pumps with plastic stocks, and non-glare blue barrels.  I decided that I wanted a really good looking pump this time.  At least the Walnut stock and forearm don't shine.  Plus, there's not a shiny action on the right side of the receiver to worry about.  Bottom feed, and bottom eject.  Invector Plus chokes.

Full Choke at 30 Yards, Remington 1.25 Ounce #7.5 Lead, 145 in 10".
I tried 4 different loads in all.  1.5 Ounce #6's threw a nice even pattern at 30 Yards.

I could dedicate my 870 to being my turkey setup, and use the BPS for everything else?  Both have nice, slick, smooth actions on them.  Both pattern well.

870 or BPS?

870 AND BPS!!!
