Description
The sun’s barely up, the Missouri frost is still on the grass, and you’re waiting in the blind. A flight of doves banks on the wind. When it comes to smooth, reliable performance in the field, you need a shotgun that cycles as predictably as the seasons. That’s where the Browning BPS Field Comp 20 Ga, 28″ Barrel, 3″, Mount Blued steps in. It’s a workhorse built for the long haul, not the safe queen.
The Browning BPS Field Comp is a bottom-ejecting, pump-action shotgun chambered in versatile 20-gauge. It features a 28-inch vent-rib barrel, a 3-inch chamber for shell flexibility, and a durable matte blued finish. This design provides ambidextrous operation, reduced felt recoil via the Inflex Technology recoil pad, and classic Browning reliability for hunting and sport shooting. At $614.47, it delivers proven performance for the discerning shooter.
Built on the proven BPS platform, this shotgun’s bottom-eject, top-tang safety design is its secret weapon. Spent shells drop straight down at your feet, not across your line of sight or into your hunting partner’s space. That’s a concrete advantage in a duck blind or a dove field. The top-mounted safety is intuitively placed for quick, gloved-hand operation—your thumb finds it naturally when you mount the gun. It’s a system that just makes sense under pressure.
The 28-inch barrel with a vent rib offers a long, smooth sight plane for consistent swing and lead on flying targets. Paired with the Inflex Technology recoil pad, which directs energy down and away from your cheek, it makes for a shotgun you can shoot all day without punishment. The 3-inch chamber handles everything from light 2¾-inch target loads to heavier 3-inch magnums for waterfowl, giving you serious versatility. Weighing in at approximately 7.5 pounds, it balances forward for a smooth, steady swing.
Look, the matte blued metal and satin-finished walnut stock aren’t just for show. They’re a practical, corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to damp mornings in the Mississippi flyway. The design is drop-in ready for standard choke tubes, allowing you to quickly adapt from a Modified for upland birds to a Full for turkey. It’s a tool that fits out of the box and gets to work.

Pros: Ambidextrous, bottom-eject design is ideal for left-handed shooters or tight hunting quarters. The Inflex recoil pad genuinely reduces perceived kick. Tang safety is fast and intuitive. Classic, durable construction promises a lifetime of service. The 3-inch chamber offers maximum load versatility.
Cons: Pump action requires manual cycling versus a semi-auto. The 28-inch barrel can feel long in extremely thick cover. It’s a traditional design without modern tactical rails or accessory mounts—this is a pure field gun.
So who is this for? It’s for the Missouri hunter who values reliability above all else—the one who doesn’t want to wonder if their gun will cycle in a freezing blind. It’s for the left-handed shooter tired of adapting to right-eject guns. It’s for the wing shooter or turkey hunter seeking a single, versatile shotgun that can handle multiple roles with simple choke changes, compatible with standard Browning Invector-DS choke tubes.
Frequently Asked Questions
