When did the increased desirability of longer barrels begin & why is that so?
Decades ago, a shorter set of barrels, like 26”, were more popular, or so I believe. A compact shotgun for use in woods & thicket, for grouse & woodcock.
Now, it seems shorter barrel lengths are increasingly unpopular, and longer ones are desired. Why is that so? Perhaps a longer sighting plane as hunting for game birds has diminished and the most a shotgun might do now is shatter a clay pigeon? Or…???
