I am a fan of 26" barrels for upland bird hunting.

Long or short, each has its place afield. The older I get, and the more scarce the birds, I find lighter guns to be a blessing. If they are beautiful, I have something to engage myself with in the long spans of time between coveys.

BUT, let's not start a craze for short barreled guns just yet...until I have time to acquire a few more at the more reasonable price.

Hey Garry, you can always cut them shorter, just can't make em longer.

Hmm...that's an idea, Harold. It would make them lighter, too.
