If you were going to buy a 10 gauge which make and model would you buy?

Browning BPS or the Remington mag10

Both are very well made guns and it just depends on auto or pump

BPS all the way. I have a hunting buddy that is about half my size. He has a BPS 10 guage and I shoot an 870 Super Mag. He usually swaps with me about half way through a good hunt ( I only shoot 3" shells) and I love his gun.....

10 Gauge??? damn, it's take two people to carry the thing. you know that's pretty bad mark, when a good shooter like delta duck has to revert to shooting a 10 gauge to kill ducks and geese. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just know this DD, the day will come when you and I meet on the shooting range, and you're going down!!! :lol: :lol:

Just ask Mark what happened when he went up against me, it wasn't pretty. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, actually you saw that episode. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Scooter and I went at it one time, and it wasn't very pretty either. :lol: :lol:

You just be lucky that I've got an eye dominance problem, otherwise I'd be hell on wheels. :lol: :lol:

Got both of them, I really like the Mag 10 vs. the BPS due to having that 2nd shot right there. My BPS has a 26" barrel and is nicknamed "nub" and it is a nasty piece of metal, it is much hell on geese :P . The Mag10 has a 30" barrel and it is pure hell too. I don't use them for ducks just geese. Although numerous pintails have gotten in the way :lol: Never had problem with either. I found my BPS for $350 in the box and the Mag 10 for $750 used, you do the math on a new Mag10 vs a new BPS. 8)

Fellows, I did not say I was going to buy a 10 gauge for me to shoot ducks and geese.
Strickly sporting clays :lol: :lol:

Greenhead, I like your confidence, but one of us want live long enough for you to be able to out shoot me in Sporting clays and the duck hole :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

keep practicing and shoot about 15000 rounds a year for about 5 years then call me and then I'll give you a shooting lesson :wink:

Just about any DU shoot at the Willows turns into a MS Ducks sporting clays shoot.

Heck GH22:

Don't pick on DD just 'cause he is getting old and needs a 10 guage. He is being real generous in his conditions precedent to give you a shooting lesson.

Do the math. That ain't but 75,000 rounds. If 5 years is too quick, no problem. At 200 rounds per week you will be good to go in a mere 7.5 years. DD might be in a wheel chair by then.

I am sure that Anat will coach you for free. Yer buddy Duckmen is a AAA skeet shooter, he might offer you some tips (like "try shooting with your eyes open this time.") Scooter is a state champ, I am sure he would pitch in. I, out of the graciousness of my heart, will even loan you an Ole Miss cap for good luck.

And I promise not to walk behind the whole mess and laugh hysterially. Then again...... :D
