Well; it looks as if barrel length is personal choice, yes? Thanks again.
How many of you 20 gauge folks use an optic? thanks again and again...

1. 870. Build it like you want it
2. Franchi affinity /Stoeger m3020
Dress em like you want em, save all excess cash for chokes and start rolling your own.  If you shoot the pixie dust, it ain't gonna matter what you get.

Best bang for your buck 870 or Mossberg. Not sure on bps.. I just bought one and going to check it out. I hear good things on Weatherby. I'm one of the benelli haters. I've owned 6 and sold them all. Regardless of which one you get,  do your homework on loads and choke tube combos and you should be good to go. Wish you much success with your choice.

Very happy with my SX3 after a trigger job.  My grandson killed a tom with it yesterday and he commented on how soft it shot.  He became a fan.
For a ready to hunt gun, the Weatherby may be a top choice.  My concern there was (may still be) the gun is rated for 1.25oz loads and down, not 1.5oz shot like the Federal HW 7's I like.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Beretta

What does beretta offer?  I would like a Beretta 20 ga. 24". I wish they made the 300 Outlander in 20 ga.

Depends on what your budget is

I like the Rem 870 or the Mossberg 20 gauge. They are not expensive, and have the track record of proven reliability.

Mossberg SA-20 is a sweet little gun
