SBE II - 24"
Montefeltros - 26"
Citori Lightnings - 28"
Ruger All Weather - 30"
The Ruger is the exact same length as the Benelli SBE with a extended turkey choke installed!

SBEs have a very long receiver. Other than for waterfowling that's why I pick up my M1 for almost everything. It's a little lighter and shorter.

Got a 28 inch on the Beretta A300. Would much rather have a 26 inch.

My Benelli Ultralight has a 24" tube. I'm primarily a SxS guy so that length makes it seem more nearly that of my doubles. Additionally, I'm a pheasant Hunter and snap shoot on maybe 90% of those birds, so the often mentioned "long barrel swings better" could be but I don't swing much; I see, point and shoot. Even on the occasional crossing shot I tend to snap shoot rather than swinging on the bird.

SBE II with a 24 inch barrel. It will shoot as far as a long barreled shotgun, but you don't have to pack all that extra barrel around. I always love to hear the sporting clays guys talk about their long barrels have extra weight that helps them swing through. Some day I think I will take my short barrel and duct tape a brick on the end to show them you can have weight without longer barrels... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/birds/DSCN2153.jpg)

Plus, now that I'm on the Medicare rolls, walking 3-5 miles over uneven ground for a chance at some birds, I've a strong notion light is right. 😊

You cant kill pheasants with a turkey gun. If you could they would market pheasant guns with short barrels and camo. Pheasant guns all have long barrels and all good flyrod are fast action.  I usually go to Iowa to duck hunt and always take my SBE with a 26" barrel but next time I'm taking my M1 with 24" barrel cause we pheasant hunt in the evenings and my SBE feels like a boat anchor by the time I get back to the truck.
