What's Included
- Browning BPS Hunter Field Model 12 gauge pump-action shotgun
The BPS platform loads and ejects from the bottom, keeping empties away from the shooter and making it inherently friendly for both right- and left-handed use. The ambidextrous top-tang safety further supports this layout, and the forged, machined steel receiver provides a solid operating foundation.
This Hunter Field Model carries a 30 inch steel barrel with a ventilated rib and a fixed Full choke (F), identified by a single asterisk on the barrel. It is chambered for both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch shells and is topped with bead sights for a clear, traditional sight picture.
The wood stock features a pistol grip with pressed checkering for control, along with a Browning-branded ventilated recoil pad and white-line spacer. Length of pull measures 14.25 inches, giving the gun a classic field fit.
Produced by Miroku in Japan, this example aligns with a 1981 Browning BPS Hunter 12-gauge code. It wears a blued finish and includes the Gold Browning Buckmark on the bolt. Capacity is three rounds.
