What is better for duck hunting a 26' or 28' barrel?

I like the 28 inch barrels...... It feels more ';pointable'; in my hands if that makes any sense to you..... Stop by the sport shop and shoulder each shotgun.... Swing then and see how they ';feel'; in your hands....What is better for duck hunting a 26' or 28' barrel?
Duck hunting is not like upland bird hunting. You are restricted to steel shot, or some other substitute, that is not as heavy as lead. A longer barrel will extend your range.





Most of you shots will be at birds flying towards you. Aim a little in front of the bird. 'Swing' is not that critical. The longer the barrel the better, to the extreme even. Check this out:http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu6pu2BxJ8w鈥?/a>What is better for duck hunting a 26' or 28' barrel?
I seriously doubt the two inch difference is going to change anything. Your choice of load will make a far greater difference.





Of course, if it was between an 18'; or a 20';, that might make a slight difference, but at 26 or 28, it's all the same.





Good Hunting.
Damn you should be able to knock em outta the sky with either a 26' or 28' barrel but it'd be kinda awkward to carry lol. But seriously now I'd go with the 28'; barrel, the longer the better, keeps your spread tighter longer
You should be fine with the 26 incher. If you plan on taking more long shots then the 29 incher would be better, however, if you start taking long shots, you are going to injure birds that will not drop until they are out your retrieval zone.
Either one, but the 26'; would handle and swing better on target.*
