My vote is for the Leupold turkeyplex scope. Good luck.

I'd vote the Leupold....really doubt you could go wrong either way...if you go with the leupold I'm sure you already know,but watch the eye relief. I had a BPS 10g. years ago and man was that thing punishing.

I have been using a scope since I built my turkey gun better than 20 years ago! Wouldn't have it without.

I have a Vortex venom and so far I really like it. It was a little cheaper in my area and I have really liked my other Vortex optics. I have also dealt with their customer service and they are second to none. As far as a mount. It comes with a picatinny but Vortex will switch it for a weaver for free if you call them.

I would probably go with a small light sight like the ff3 or similar. The Bps 10 is a heavy gun to begin with, and adding a scope and mounts will be noticeable after carrying it around all day.

 Unfortunately, I think the browning factory mount is the only one available commercially.  You can get a weaver/picattiny rail blank and drill it to match the bolt pattern on your receiver.
