On my Benelli Montefeltro, I definitely prefer a 24” barrel.
I’ve cut several of my Remington’s to a 23” barrel. Only have one shotgun left with a 28” barrel. Only reason I haven’t cut it down is because it’s a pristine like new model 1950’s era 870 in 16 gauge.
My advice is to buy which ever barrel length swings and points the best for YOU. Everybody is different. Fit and point ability is my more important than barrel length in being able to hit any flying target, IMHO.
