I've had a BPS since the second year of production.
A 30" gun was all I could find. So I shortened it to 23 1/2" and had some barrel work done on the inside, as well. Used it for turkeys and geese for a lot of years before going to a pair of 3 1/2" Winchester gas guns.
Performance with lead turkey loads is so similar between the 10 and the SX Winchesters that the recoil tradeoff is not worth carrying the 10. HOWEVER...……...…..the 10 will do things with 2 1/4 ounces of #2 copper-plated lead that should, really, probably, be against the law......…. The 12 gauge gassers won't come close.
