The BPS is a solid gun ...and its my pump gun of choice in both 12ga and 20ga....and I have the Hunter models with 28" barrel.

I bought mine new in about 1980 ....and I shot them for a long time in Trap ...and they survived thru 2 boys...and now a few grandkids.
BPS models are very strong guns...very smooth actions, I like the bottom ejection and they are cast neutral so they are good for lefties and right handed shooters, safety on top tang makes them easy to operate with gloves on....just good solid guns for the money.
They are not my primary target guns anymore ...( Browning Citori O/U's are my primary guns )...but I still shoot them once in a while just for the heck of it....and I expect them to be passed down in the family for at least 2 or 3 more generations. I'm pretty close to entrusting them to my oldest son ....and his 2 kids, that are 11 and 13...( maybe at Xmas -- we'll see )...
