I have been thinking of buying a Browning BPS 16 gauge. But, I can't figure for the life of me why. I have a beautiful 6 pound Valmet O/U 16, a Belgian 16 SxS guild gun that shoots like a dream and is a hair over 6 pounds, and an old (though rattly, but still shoots) Model 12 in 16; not to mention my 20 gauge and my 12 gauge Browning Citories, and my Model 12 28 gauge. So why do I need another 16 gauge? Please help. Talk me out of it.

Imagine someone gave you a box of 16ga steel shot. What would you do with it?

I see a solution.

You're right; dont buy it (usually when somebody tells me not to do something it makes me want to do it all the more Very Happy ).

Rather than the BPS, get a Rem M31L, smoother action, and you have a piece of history.

AND it doesn't have any plastic in it, AND the barrel connects via threads vs a slip-fit.

There! does that give you any pause? I doubt it Wink .

I drank this Kool-Aid, and will have the BPS Upland in my paws next week.

Buy it. I figure at my age I may as well buy any 16 gauge that catches my eye, and whispers in my ear. We ain't coming back this way again, and might as well enjoy the ride.

Oldfolks, I like your way of thinking! I also like your slogan at the bottom of your post.

Damn true words. Wink
