Current production Browning BPSs are very nice. Current production Ithaca Model 37s are better. You do pay a premium for them, though, and presently they sell for a bit higher than the OP's budget. And they also are hard to come by right now, with a big back order on guns. The ones I bought in 2018, were 12 gauges. Ithaca was kind enough to send me sequentially numbered guns. They are built the way they ought to be built - all forged steel. The barrels are outstanding. They are the only shotguns I have that hit exactly to point of aim and shoot 50/50.
