Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Browning BPS 28 gauge

I see no reason to buy a BPS 28 gauge for hunting where lots of walking and climbing is involved. If it weighs much over 6#, I’d use a 20 or 16.

That said, in the other end of the spectrum, you couldn’t give
me a 5# bird gun. I have seen other folks use them to good effect, but I have found my shooting drops off dramatically with a gun much below 6#. To me, a flyweight shotgun is a demanding mistress.

My son took a nice double bearded Tom last spring with the BPS 28ga, paired with. JEBS choke. His first Turkey was with a 20ga BPS at 11 years old, followed by my 10ga BPS at 13 y/o. Number 3 was with the BPS 410 at 15, and tomorrow for his Christmas/graduation gift he is getting the BPS 16ga. Looks like the last of his bucket list will be with the 12ga.
As a large lefty shooter he loves the BPS design. Being young, he doesn’t consider the additional weight as a disadvantage.
