Probably the best pump action available if you can get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel100 Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Also, have a look at the Ithaca Model 37. It is very similar in design and function. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 They did a 16 bore one and I have seen them advertised but never had the opportunity to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 They are brilliant. Far superior to a Mossberg in my opinion. Tang mounted safety catch and bottom ejecting. They are well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretlurcher1970 Posted November 21 Author Report Share Posted November 21 Will try and track one down. Get very angry trying to find cases that have been rejected from my maxus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 There are a couple of 12 bores in the Holts sealed bit auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretlurcher1970 Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 Just had a look. Is that price they normally go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 I have had a few BPS (always regretted selling them!) Great action and somewhat simpler takedown than the similarly configured Ithaca 37, although I personally prefer the handling of the 37. The BPS is made in Japan by Miroku and the metalwork is to their high standards. It is my opinion that the wood to metal fit is better on the older ones, My current one is older and is a lovely, well used one. It was fairly cheap at around £120. The BPS moniker does seem to inflate the price, mine was sold as a Browning Field pump, but is nonetheless a factory marked BPS. Hope you find one, I doubt you will regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretlurcher1970 Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 I want one for wildfowling. Auto is driving me nuts loosing the empties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 A BPS would certainly fit the bill! They are also available in 10g but do tend to be pricy in that gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamch Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 Had a look at one at Malmo Guns a while back but you need long arms to cycle the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushandpull Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 A very sound comment. On the 10, for some reason the stroke seems to start a long way out and have a very long travel - definitely one to try before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be lucky to even see a BPS10 let alone try before you buy. If you see one for sale, buy it immediately and then make it work for you afterwards.
