O/U opinions?

[Adam Helmer]

270 Man,

A 26-inch barrel IS Enough on a Double or O/U gun. In my opinion, the days of 30-inch or 28-inch barrels went the way of buggy whips and high button shoes. I began hunting in 1958 and everybody "KNEW" we had to have FULL Chokes to "Have Enough Gun." Well, for pheasants and rabbits we SOON learned Modified or IC Choke was all we neeed.

All my doubles and O/U guns have 26-inch tubes. If a guy wants 28 or 30-inch tubes, that is OK and he is 2 or 4 INCHES closer to the bird. Happy New Year.
