Some of the more experienced trapshooters that I’ve spoken with find the adjustable comb to be one of the most important features of a trapshooting shotgun, and I’m now inclined to agree with that statement. The adjustable comb allows the stock to precisely fit against the shooter’s face, while providing an optimal sighting picture.
Leaving that aside, I’m quite happy with the build quality of the BT-99. But, since the BT-99 did cost $500 more than the 11-87, I still think some slightly nicer wood should have been used. I also believe that I really lucked out on the food that came with my 11-87, since it looks far better than many other 11-87s I’ve seen. That really don’t matter much to me, and I fully recognize that the aesthetic properties of a gun’s stock are highly subjective. The only thing I don’t like is that the wood on my BT-99 doesn’t seem to look quite as good as the wood on my previous 11-87. Every piece fits where it should, and disassembly/reassembly requires little effort. The break open action is smooth yet snug, and the trigger is crisp. The BT-99 is one of the more expensive guns I own, and the quality seems to match the price. Again, since this is a trap shotgun, the sights are set up so that the point of aim is just above the front sight, allowing the shooter to clearly see the clay target. Since the BT-99 is a trapshooting shotgun, and trapshooters don’t load or close their shotguns until seconds before they fire, the BT-99 neither has nor needs an external safety. Weight will vary based upon the exact model, but my 34″ BT-99 with an adjustable comb tips the scales at 8 pounds 5 ounces, and has an overall length of 51 inches. Some have an adjustable stock and/or adjustable comb, and buyers can choose a 30″, 32″, or 34″ barrel. The Browning BT-99 is a single shot break open trapshooting shotgun, which comes in a few different models. With that background information out of the way, here are my thoughts on the BT-99: So I decided to give it to her, and bought myself a BT-99. Then, my fiancé started going trapshooting with me, and ended up really liking my 11-87 (due in part to the recoil-dampening effect of the gas piston system). Until recently, a Remington 11-87 served as my trapshooting shotgun, and I was quite happy with it.
