[QUOTE="frogfan, post: 1579353, member: 71660"] As a longtime wingshooter who is now venturing into long range shooting I agree with many of the above posts. For non-flushing birds I prefer 30" - 32" barrels, with the exception of 26" barrel on my dedicated waterfowl gun. Longer barrels increase your sight plane allow for a better/easier sight picture (assuming proper gun fit), along with smoothing out your swing on lighter sub-gauge guns commonly used for doves. The 26" waterfowl gun I have found to be more manageable in layout and upright blinds is also the gun I use for turkeys. Even with the additional length of an extended turkey or waterfowl choke this gun is easily maneuvered in the Texas brush. With a good turkey choke (Carlsons, Kicks, Patternmaster, Briley, etc.) any barrel length should prove to pattern well and take turkeys at surprising distances. [/QUOTE]
