Default Modern shotgun dimensions vs vintage

Why do people advertise certain vintage shotguns as having "modern shootable dimensions"

What exactly does that mean? And why have "standard" shotgun dimensions changed over the years?

Reason I ask is it seems like every vintage shotgun I shoulder fits me like a glove. My 1896 GH fits me perfect, but when I shoot either of my reproductions I'm looking down on the top of the barrel, I find it hard to hit anything with them.
