Chambered for both 2 3/4" and 3" shells, it offers a versatile field setup in a compact, fast-handling length. Gloss-finished walnut furniture, polished blued steel, and Japanese FN manufacturing complete a package prized by hunters and left-handed shooters alike.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Browning BPS Field 12 GA pump shotgun
- Installed Browning Standard Invector choke tube
Built in Japan by Miroku, this BPS features Browning’s ambidextrous bottom-ejection system that sends spent hulls straight down, keeping the sight picture clear for right- and left-handed shooters. The top-tang sliding safety falls naturally under the thumb for intuitive control.
The 22-inch “Special Steel” barrel wears a ventilated rib and brass bead for quick target acquisition. Threading at the muzzle accepts Browning’s early Standard Invector choke tubes, giving the shooter flexibility for upland birds, small game, or timber ducks.
Gloss-finished walnut furnishes both the cut-checkered stock and slide-action fore-end. A ventilated recoil pad with white-line spacer caps the 14-inch length of pull, helping manage 3-inch magnum loads while maintaining classic lines.
Polished blued steel covers the receiver and barrel, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. Despite its compact length, the shotgun retains the standard 4+1 capacity and smooth, dual-action bar pump design that has made the BPS a perennial field favorite.
