How many different 10 gauges shotguns are still in production?

In the recent past, I've seen NEF's and Brownings, but I'm curious about who is still making them.

The Browning Gold 10 is still made, and the best made IMO. There are also some spanish doubles, but good luck finding them in stock anywhere to look at.

There might be some Ithaca Mag 10s out there used for sale. Remington took over the patents on them and it is what the SP10 is now. If you can find a used Mag10 you can be pretty sure not a lot of shells have been through them. I have a Mag10 deluxe which is a very fine piece of craftsmanship. I have never handled the Newer Reminton SP10s. I have heard nothing but good about the Browning Gold 10s, but have never handled them either.

Browning Gold is a fine shotgun; Remington makes 10s also; Ithaca
Mag 10 was made; and, lastly aside from some Spanish doubles, Beretta
made the 410 10ga double with double triggers which should be available for under 1000....80% gun should be about 700. Then you'd have to overbore
and lengthen the forcing cones and put in screw chokes to hand steel shot or HeviShot. Gun Broker has two 10ga Berettas by some ol boy up in Kansas
who has had them listed for some time.

Remington has the SP10, which has a really good reputation. It's over $1000.

Browning has the BPS 10ga, which has a great reputation. More reasonably priced.

NEF has several 10ga single shots, which seem awfully nifty to me. I have a couple. Of course, after I finally shoot them, I might not thing they are so nifty... They are pretty heavy for a single shot, though, so it might not be quite as bad as I'm thinking. These are very reasonably priced.

Browning BPS IS the gun, could even be made "tactical" .:D
