Charlie I love the big guns but even to me on a 8 or 4 bore double anything over 36" starts to look disproportionate like on my 6 frame from some angles my 32" barrels look stubby. I think on the big guns somewhere in the range of 34"-38" is where they look good any thing less or more looks odd to me. Then again this can be entirely dependent on the scale of the action/frame size also. Like recently Ive come to the conclusion a 4 bore double should always be a hammergun as the actions arent as chunky around the stock head.
