Few firearms blend classic aesthetics with practical, modern handling as cleanly as a well-executed pump-action. For shooters who value tried-and-true reliability but want ergonomic improvements for quicker follow-up shots, this model deserves a close look.

BROWNING BPS MODEL-28 — The BPS combines a satin finished walnut stock with a matte blued barrel finished with a ventilated rib, presenting the look you expect from Browning while improving form and function. The stock has been subtly reconfigured for a faster, more natural feel; new checkering surfaces enhance purchase; the Inflex recoil pad increases comfort on recoil; and the S/R selector ring (“Single shot or Repeat”) lets you safely change the chambered shell or open the action without emptying the magazine. No choke. Priced at $699.99.

Design and handling

The satin walnut stock gives the BROWNING BPS MODEL-28 a classic appearance, while the reconfigured lines improve cheek weld and pointability. The ventilated rib on the matte blued barrel aids target acquisition for sporting or field applications. Checkering has been refreshed to provide a grippier interface in wet or cold conditions, and the Inflex recoil pad reduces felt recoil, making longer sessions more comfortable for a wide range of shooters.

Controls and action

The pump action remains smooth and reliable. The S/R selector ring is a practical touch for fieldcraft: set to “Single” when you need to safely unload or cross obstacles, or switch to “Repeat” for standard operation. The absence of interchangeable chokes simplifies maintenance and tuning for specific loads—you’ll want to consider patterning shot choices accordingly.

With no choke swaps, pattern tests should be performed to determine optimal loads for your needs.
