870 Express - 26" or 28"
« on: February 21, 2005, 03:29:17 PM »
Been looking to get one of these for a while and have found a brand new 28" synthetic stcked Express for $249. I really would rather have the 26" barreled one but they run about $25 more. Should I go ahead and get the 28" model? What advantage / disadvantage is there over the 26" models?

The 28" might be a better choice for an upland/waterfowl/clay bird gun because that extra 2" will add swing to your follow through, hence making it easier to swing for side-to-side shots, snap shots, etc. That's the only advantage I know of. And honestly that's a tough call to make, but if the $25 isn't an issue, I'd go with the 26". At 26" you still have enough of that length to make it a 'swinger'. Good luck with your decision!  :D
