Thinking about going with a 30" barrel vs. a 28". I seldom duck hunt, mostly deer. Anyone have much experience in shooting buckshot out of a longer barrel. Wanting to shoot 3.5in 000buck. |

I would think with the chokes they have these days, it would be cheaper than a new barrel. I have a 12ga fully rifled barrel and scope and it's a killer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would like to have the option to duck and squirrel hunt with it. Having a rifled barrel would I only be able to shoot slugs? I have zero experience with that type of barrel. Also I do a great deal of stalking and pirogue pushing to jump deer. Need something with some spread. Which is why I'm wanting a shotgun. I have two good rifles for the brush but looking at trying something different. |

Ive always used 26 or 28" barrels when deer hunting. We cant use buck shot only slugs. I do like a shorter barrel for heavy cover though they swing fast and dont get caught on much if you have to make shots in and around cover. Ive always used a smooth bore and rifled slugs |

FIL has an older remington SP-10 thats a dream to shoot, for a 10 gauge... The recoil is fairly comparable to a 12ga and it throws a #4 buck load in a pie plate size pattern at 40yds, cant remember what choke is in it but I wanna say its a custom job... Uses it every year calling coyotes... |

Be happy with the length you have....what if your gal traded you in for an extra couple inches? Ever thought about that!? |

I have several friends that hunt with buckshot a lot. They mostly all use Benelli SBE 1 and 2s with 26" barrels and 3.5" 000 buck. One of them has a 28". They all have aftermarket buckshot chokes in their guns but Im not sure of brand. They have used the same set ups for a number of years and it doesnt seem like they are changing any time soon. |

U may shoot 2" further with a 30" barrel than a 28", but that's about it. Barrel length is really of no concern due to the modern powders. All the choke is in the last 2 inches of barrel regardless of how long it is anyway. I would get a 26" barrel and get a good buckshot choke. |

The extra barrel length ain't gonna help with a pattern or shooting farther, or anything like that. Here's what the extra barrel length WILL do for you in the shotgun world... Moving targets: The extra length will help in smoothing out your swing if you have a "whippy" barrel habit. It'll also allow you to shoot moving targets with less perceived lead. Stationary targets: Longer barrels can give you more sight plane, which in turn makes it a little easier to be accurate. The more length you have between the rear sight and front sight, the easier it is to be accurate. I use 32" barrels on my sporting clays O/U, because it smooths me out and balances well for me. Smaller framed people may prefer the short barrel for ease of use. My duck gun is a 28" O/U because I don't want to handle anything longer than that in the blind. |

Thanks fellas think I'll just stay with a 28" and get a choke that patterns buckshot well. |

I use buckshot 4b and my turkey choke in my 28" barrel Beretta A300. Shot and killed the only one I attempted. So far so good. |
