Well, if it ain't been used in 5 years or so, its time to move it on. Besides, I used my SXS almost exclusively last season and thoroughly enjoyed it--may add another to the stable in the future.
BPS was bought by me about 2008 and used quite a bit for the next 5-6 years. About the only issue is sharp corner blue wear on the bottom of the receiver from carry. Very slight scratches in the buttstock and a 1/8 inch dimple in the forearm. Best I can measure, LOP is about 14 inches, with about 1.5 and 2 inch drop on comb/pad (with the high rib, this drop is plenty). I don't have a good scale, but I think it weighs about 6.75 lbs. 26 inch barrel with 3 Invector chokes. Shipped FFL to FFL, CONUS (with no further restrictions) for $600. USPS MO or similar.
In the interest of full disclosure, I had some problems with new straight walled steel based shells hanging up in the chamber when the gun was new. Especially Fiocchi Golden Pheasant loads, but occasionally a few other "Italian" shells. Chamber was honed with 4-ought steel wool and seems to have fixed problem, but since I switched back to my old standbys (Win CF reloads--which are totally reliable), I can't vouch for "problem solved."
Parent of a teenager with a strong bird hunting desire lacking a good gun? With some details of the situation, I will prioritize sale to a parent of a young man or lady for $350 with the above shipping restrictions. PM me and we'll work it out.
PM me if interested. More pictures available (sent by email to your email address).
