If the BPS were a good design why were they recalled shortly after introduction for trigger, safety and cracked stock issues. I repaired hundreds for these issues, modified the trigger mechanisms, cocking pieces and glassed the locking lugs they're just a mass produced tube action and not a very high quality one at that. You'd think that Browning aiming for the upper end of the sporting market could come up with something much better than that.
I have quite a bit of experience with a number of BPSs over the last 25 years without issue... so maybe they got it right in the end?
