10 Gauges? What's on the market

[Evan Zinn]

Hello Folks

I am currently thinking about a 10 gauge for a new shotgun. Wondered what experiences people have had. I am thinking pump, but autoloader is not out of the question. Whats the scoop, who makes them, who made them in the past. And what kind of quality is available.

BPS, gold and SP-10 are the only ones I'm aware of.

Still have mine but it's a SxS made by AYA. Rather than go to opening the chokes to use steel I'll go the handloads using Bismuth route instead.

I bet that is a beauty gun, do you have pictures of it, I know you don't want to part with it, I would just like to see such a gun. If you have time please send me some pictures, if not that is just fine, thank you for the imput.

 

[Johnn Peterson]

PM me your e-mail address and I'll take one and send it. I'll learn how to post pictures on the site, one of these days.

Ithaca also has the Mag-10 "Roadblocker", great guns for knocking down ducks and geese

The new Rem SP-10 Turkey makes me feel funny in a dirty place.

I have a Ithica mag 10 workes well & fun to shoot. I had a Browninig pump but could not hit a dame thing with it - poor fit for me. I had 2 SxSs before that and am sorry that I sold them.

You're allways sorry when you sell those.

The Browning pump 10 ga is the worst balanced, most ungainly shotgun I've ever handled. I won one in a DU raffle. Sold it without ever taking a shot. it was well built and nicely finished, but I think you'd need to be 7' tall and 300 lbs to shoot it. I'm 6' and 200 lbs. No way could I handle that thing, and I shoot shotguns a LOT.

I do have a soft spot for my "Roadblocker".....when she fires....well you now it for sure......so does anyone around you.

I have a BPS with a 26" barrel and love it, my friend has the same with a 28 and I tried the 30" both I will agree with not fitting and hard to shoot. Must be all that metal up front.

Buddy of mine has the BPS 10 and once in a while I will borrow it. Im so used to my cycle length, that not too often i get more than one shot off. I dont pull back far enough. Just that I am not used to it. If your are used to it then its ok I guess. However the weight is something else. The gun is just so long that it is hard to shoulder real fast. I find that when I start swinging it, I cant get it to stop.
