Would you get it in 20 or 24 inch barrel?

24". but i like the longer 24" - 26" barrels on all my turkey gun's The longer barrels seem to pattern better for me. A buddy of mine has ans 870 with a short 20" barrel and that gun just plain shoots awesome.

I personally would go with the 24 inch. I use a 28 inch as I like the performance I get from the longer barrel plus my guns are multipurpose turkey/bird guns. Many guys I know use the 20-24 inch set ups with good results also.

I would go with the 20" It is what I have now and it shoots awesome. I have not had any problem getting it to pattern well. All that length to me is just extra weight and more to maneuver on a blind or when swinging on a gobbler.

20...I dont think any difference in either bbl, but the less weight and shortness of carrying it around will be worth the buy for a 20"...

20" turkey thug for me. Better trigger system than the rest and a red dot. Mine will shoot with the rest of the longer bbl out there. I have 2 20" guns and have consistent 300+ with hevi 7s and have great patterns with nitros. I will be testing several loads soon this week to see how it does and what im going to hunt with. I have posted several patterns from them on here..search my name or either "fountain " and check em out. If you can find an older ported 24 for cheap, then check it out, but new, the turkey thigh is a great gun

I myself prefer a 28" or 26" barrel. But I do understand why some guys like the shorter barrels. Having had a 21" barrel 870, they aren't for me. But out of the choices you listed I would go with the longer 24" barrel.

What you using for aiming? Scope, bead, Irons? If using a scope barrel length doesn't affect anything. If your using a bead or irons then the longer barrel will make it easier to aim. I like a shorter barrel for turkey. I got a 21" for turkey and a 30" for things on the wing.
