When I heard that Browning was making the BPR, I ran out to check some out. I was pretty excited about the idea, but two things turned me off about them;
1. I didn't like the different color of the alum. receiver
2. I didn't like the way the forend rubbed on the receiver. Even on the display models I looked at the forend was taking a toll on the receiver finish.
I never really got past those two things...combined with the solution to a non-existant problem thing, so I never really looked into it any further.
