I just recently bought a 21" Remington factory replacement barrel, factory iron sights, and Remington super full choke for $199 from optics planet to replace my 26" vent rib barrel. Sighted in yesterday and will hunt it in the morning. The barrel needs deep cleaned to remove the factory oil but other than that I really like it. It doesn't seem to pattern as well as my 26" barrel but haven't had time to tinker with it. Will after season as we only have two days left but it throws 130's in 10" at 40 with undertaker and HWT 7's.
