Quote from: Farmboy27 on August 01, 2017, 09:31:33 PMI've used everything from a 21" to a 28" barrel for turkey. I can honestly say I've never felt handicapped with any of them. I've always bought guns for the way they handle for me. If a 26" gun feels better than a 24" then buy it and don't worry about maneuverability. 2" isn't going to make or break you. Patterning isn't going to change enough to worry about most likely. The gun is going to be yours. So buy what feels right in your hands!

I use a 26" Browning BPS and carry it with a wide sling. Its normally tilted back and just slides under any branches with no issues. What I really like about the 26" is the longer sight plain. I frequently hunt open fields where the shots can be longer and here the 26" really shines. Woods hunting on private land or public is also not an issue. I do use open sights. If you hunt with a buddy they will appreciate that longer barrel as the blast from that shorter barrel can be very disconcerting to shooter or anyone close by. I hate it when my ears ring.
