BPS Hunter w/engraved receiver?

[Island'r]

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a Browning BPS Hunter, and was looking on their site and saw the model with the engraved receiver.

I have never seen one of these in person, and the pic is a lil fuzzy on the site, cant quite make out the engraving. Looks like the price is the same as the standard model though.

Anyone have one/seen one? Is it worth the trouble trying to locate one? I like the look of the Standard model, but that engraving really makes that gun beautiful!

I have a bad habit of wanting things that are NEVER easy to find... (sigh)

Hi:
They are really not that uncommon or special. You will have no trouble finding one if you want it. 99% of the factory bps trap guns have it plus most of the field specials and probally more. I first remember seeing it around 1990 I would guess and my 16ga bps has it. It doesn't add any real value to the gun as far as resale or as a collectable from what I have seen over the years.Cannot go wrong buying any bps for hunting etc.
Little better pic, pheasants on one side and ducks on the other side if I recall correctly

I bought a used one about 4 years ago, that had full and modified vent rib barrels with it. Not exactly sure at the moment, but I think the serial number dated 1989 production.

The Browning BPS is one of the few shotguns that either a right or a left hand shooter can shoot equally well, as it loads and ejects from the bottom of the receiver.
