The BPS Field design centers on bottom ejection and loading, directing empties downward and keeping the receiver sides clean. This example pairs that design with a 26 inch steel barrel and a vent rib, using a single front bead for fast, unobstructed aiming. The receiver top is serrated and matte to reduce glare along the sighting plane.
It uses Browning’s Invector screw-in choke system and comes fitted with a flush Improved Cylinder choke. The chamber accepts both 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells, offering flexibility across common 12 gauge loads. Capacity is 2+1.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish, including a gloss blued receiver accented by a gold Browning Buckmark inlay on the bottom. Controls include a tang safety. Length of pull measures 14.25 inches, and a recoil pad and cut checkering on the walnut stock and forend support secure handling.
Made by Miroku in Japan in 1988, this BPS Field shows the expected factory markings: "MADE IN JAPAN" and "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH & MONTREAL P.Q." The "PP" serial code confirms the 1988 production year.
