Big Mat Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Evening All, Seems to be quite a few new bps 10 bore about again, anyone bought one in the last year? Opinions on them? Seem a sensible price. Pondering what 10 to have for this season Thanks Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberFowl Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I have one. Used it all last season. No complaints from me Gamebore rhino BB steel through Half choke throws a good enough pattern for my abilities. Didn't get out as much last season but shot far better than many previous seasons, gun seems to fit well. Apologies...one complaint/downfall The camo paint, I aren't a big fan of it from the get go on any gun. I found it stands out horribly under moonlight, like a bright beacon!

muncher Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I use a breily extra full ,I don't like the chokes that come with them so a breily suites me fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have no experience of the 10 bore BPS but I have a 12 bore version and find it a great bit of equipment. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the pull like for cycling them? I've heard it's quite a long cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberFowl Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 What's the pull like for cycling them? I've heard it's quite a long cycle?It is yes, heard many say the same.I have long arms so don't find it a problem. A couple of friends have had a go, both failed to cycle first couple times but soon got the hang of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddler Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Fancied the first ones I saw back in the late 80's when they came into stock prior to shipping out to an rfd somewhere... Not as keen on the camo or nothing option though Would like one of the shorter barrel turkey models if they ever appear in the UK....but collecting my Mag10 tomorrow, so will be playing with that for now & getting rid of the H&R single 10....nice as it is.

B525 LIGHT Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I had a BPS 10 back in the days of lead. Only reason I parted with it was due to the initial lack of cartridges or components. I now have one again along with a matching 12. I love them, they will both cycle full length roll turned cases with ease and the drop the empties at your feet. Very positive finger placement on trigger with cold hands. Hardly any forend wobble and come up wonderfuly. Shorter LOP to compensate for layers of clothing. Choke wise I use Briley. Extended IM in the 12 and LF in the ten. All briley chokes are available from Chris Potters. Hes happy to special order 10g chokes. Takes around 3 weeks.

B525 LIGHT Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Ive also read about the length of reach to the forend being long. Ive no idea who thinks its excessive but Im 5'09" and dont have arms down to my knees and its absolutely fine. Best 10g ive ever owned by far. My old one had a 30" barrel, my current one 28". Its lighter than a double and not ammo fussy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roostshooter1 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I am thinking of getting rid of my lincoln o/u 10 gauge to buy a bps Heard good reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberFowl Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 As much as I love my BPS I couldn't part with my Lincoln and would have it over the BPS.. Saying that, I am lucky enough to have both and always pick up the BPS 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandango Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Love the BPS though the new ones do have a long LoP, I shortened mine by 1/2", comes up great now, have used it with a briley M choke though find it does better with the terror choke. I am the same as Aberfowl I have a couple of Lincolns but wouldn't part with them..... They just seem to do the job..... Even have a Lincoln Sxs which is teague choked.. I just love hem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Well I'm convinced, ordering one for myself! It'll be a shame to see the old matador go but I won't be keeping two 10s once the bps arrives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B525 LIGHT Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Im a briley man but terror re awesome. But. It sure they are wirth twice the price of a briley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Im a briley man but terror re awesome. But. It sure they are wirth twice the price of a briley. Briley I think, got another gun that needs a new choke as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Briley are good going to be easy to get cheaper, these kicks ind could be near as cheap seen a few use them in 12s and they say they work its another choice. http://www.wingslocked.co.uk/home/39-high-flyer-10-gauge-choke.html#/22-choose_constriction-xfull_30_to_60_yards/10-manufacturer-browning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I Use a Briely extra full and think its great, they are easy to get and a lot cheaper than terrors etc. Matt i know your not a long range shot so if i was you just get a full or 3/4 briely and im sure you will be happy with the preformance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
