Ok. My guess was on the money--1.5". Your barrel will stick out a little more than 10.5 from you magazine tube cap so you are talking about a little more than 12" with the choke added.
This was my first season using my 870 and I had no problems running and gunning timber (as much as 10 miles a day) if you are wondering about maneuverability.
