[QUOTE="esshup, post: 339731, member: 11101"] The Brownings are nice if you're hunting in a blind with other people because of the bottom ejection. A friend had one but sold it because he didn't like the recoil vs. his SBE. The 12ga. IS more versatile than the 10 ga because of the availability of different shells, and you don't have to shoot 3.5's as a steady diet. The 12 ga will be a lot cheaper to feed, the availability of shells and variety of shells is better than the 10 ga. If you can, go to a store where they have them both in stock. Handle them, close your eyes and throw each one up to your shoulder like you are shooting at a duck. Open your eyes and see what gun fits you better without you having to move your head at all. Is your eye aligned over the barrel? Is your eye looking down the barrel or are you looking at the whole top of the barrel? It would be even better if you could shoot them both, but that might be hard to do. They're both pretty bulletproof guns. This is a personal choice, but I'd go with the SBE over the BPS. There might be a reason why you are seeing more BPS's for sale than SBE's (and I'm a browning shotgun person). [/QUOTE]
