Mine has 34 inches. If the GH in Julia's is the one I think it is, it handles pretty well

I shot a 5 bird practice race with an 8 gauge, way back in the day. (An old friend from Sacramento, well, long story)
Can't remember bbl lengths, or how many ounces of 7 1/2 went with every trigger pull.
The gun was slow to start, but very smooth. Recoil was not crazy, and it would pole-axe a bird at the back fence.
