I shoot either a 20" on a 835 or a 24" on a BPS. I know 26" and 28" are common. Never turkey hunted with one over 24. Thoughts on the longer

For those who have shot a short and a long barrel is there a difference noticable on patterns at say 40 yards?

Had a 21 now I have a 26 because it will out pattern .
Nothing like seeing a kids eyes light up upon hearing that first gobble.

Remington 870 with 26" barrel. Always heard that most long barrels will pattern better, but I'm sure that all depends on the gun.
