I haven't posted on here for quite a while and as a frequent reader I feel I should contribute. Here are a couple birds I bagged last year with my BPS10. The first was killed at 20 yards through the gooseberry bushes. All those extra pellets really clear the way! The shell I used was an old Federal 2 1/4 oz #4 Turkey load.
The second was bagged at a longer distance with a 2 1/4 oz #4 Winchester. This gun really likes #4s through a Kicks 690. Both shells are around 120 in the 10 @ 40 yards. (The Federals are consistently better.)
I should add this is the 1st gun I have been successful in getting 4s to pattern well and I am extremely impressed by the damage on birds.
GOOD DEAL :icon_thumright:
Congrats on the birds! My bps 26" and the .690 kicks seem to like the # 4s too, and that's fine by me! :OGturkeyhead:
You can't argue with proven success.
I love everything about my BPS 10 except the weight.
That's the beauty of kayak... you float your 11# gun in to position!

Lol! I wonder why browning never made a "lite" version of this gun with an aluminum receiver. I think it would have been very popular, especially for turkey hunting. I would imagine it would be too expensive to produce considering the big hunk of aluminum it would take to make it. Probably would push the price to near semi-auto figures. Would be a nice package though!
My 10 goes 12 # with the scope, rings, and mounts. It is strictly a field gun. I know where I am going when I carry it. That said, two years ago I set up along a fenceline along a big field that was about 3/4 mile from the truck. I called in and killed a 22 plus pound gobbler. It was a long but happy trip back to the truck that morning.
