pump action shotguns

Bound's hubby here:
While the Browning BPS has the Browning reputation behind it, it has not been around as long as the Remington 870 Wingmaster, or manufactured in as great a number! Also, I do not like the concept of bottom feed and bottom eject, it is too reminiscent of jams in the older Ithaca 37, the same design as the BPS.
For my money, I would go with the Remington 870 Wingmaster, but not the 870 Express!
Good luck!

i am going to agree with the crowd 870 is a better shotgun the BPS simply carries the Browing name. It is not the FN Belgium quality, matter of fact i think it is made in Japan. That is not necessarily bad but tack 150 bucks on it for the name Browning is all. I have 2 of the 870 and 1 of the BPS and while each is specialized the 870 is more rugged and reliable and easier to dismantle and fix if a problem arises. However the BPS has a function i like in that it is bottom eject. if you are a reloaded this is really cool the spents will be at your feet. I have the upland model BPS in 22" a wingmaster in 20 and a SPecial purpose 870 express in camoed 12.

I used an 870 for years and my Dad uses the BPS when we duck hunt. The 870 is the chevy work truck of shot guns. Does the job and not a lot of extras. The BPS is a nice gun and I dont believe that my Dad has ever had any problems with it. It will cost you a bit more. If cash is an issue, then the 870 would be my pick.
Good luck and happy shooting.

870 is more durable and is cheaper. The BPS is a good shotgun but will not handle abuse like duck hunting in the Miss delta as good as the 870. Both are excellent shotguns.

Cant comment on the Browning but you cant go wrong with a Remington 870.

I like my Remington 870 and Brownings are over priced

love my 870. Brownings are a bit over priced for the difference I think.

870 is the best pump gun ever made hands down no question.
