Super smooth and reliable. Bottom eject is awesome.
Truly built for left and right hand shooters with the top safety.
Length of pull might be a little long would be my only negative? Also mine from 10 years ago or so only had a plastic buttplate and no recoil pad.

Best pump shotgun on the market in my opinion , especially as far a reliability, and fit/finish go. I bought one in 1980 and it is still going strong.

owned at least one since 1978. Like the bottom ejection but overall they are just well made.

I'd rate it as the best pump shotgun I've owned, I liked it better than the 870. And they haven't cheapened them up, like they have with the 870.

I own one and it has never failed me, even though I have never cleaned it....

Lovely, lovely gun, but it needs to fit or it is just a high priced tomato stake.

Amen, I’ve tried BPS’s numerous times, they do not fit me well. So I moved on to a shotgun that fits me, which is any of the Remington 870, 1100, 11-87 platforms.

I bought one from Prophet River a few years back, I think he had a pallet of them and was blowing them out for an insane price ($350?)....so I bought one. It's a 'camp gun', shorter barrel, no choke tube....And it works great. Super smooth action, great fit and finish. Love it.

Thanks for all replies folks-- very encouraging. mine by the way JD. is a 2010 model referenced by the serial # -- barely used high gloss bluing / very nice recoil pad/ 26"-- barrel --with chokes --- the bluing is impeccable -- I'm a sucker for that great old fashioned bluing & walnut -- looks like it just came out of the box. traded my o/u Huglu 20ga, colour case hardened for it --& the only reason was -- more choices of available ammo with 12ga.& generally cheaper ammo $$. I plan on shooting mostly light loads out of it --kinda got a bum right shoulder--- that dam age thing.-- Cheers
