I saw your thread earlier - and I'm surprised noone has jumped in ...

But I have to say, I agree with you. I appreciate the old model 97's and the model 12's ......but they were never a gun that I was dying to own as I got older. There were a couple of model 97's / and a lot of model 12's in my family / and a number of Browning Auto 5's as well .....when I was growing up in the 50's and 60's - and they were all "serviceable guns".

Were they the best pump guns ever ....maybe, maybe not .... They were certainly innovative for their time ....and then the Remington 870's came along / and the Browning BPS ....

While I shot various guns in the family ... and inherited a few model 12's ....the first pump gun I bought for myself was in the 70's or early 80's and it was a Browning BPS. I still have it today / even though I don't shoot it much ( and a few years later, I added one in 20ga as well ..) .
