I shoot with a 30" Beretta silver pigeon II; the answer though is whatever is best for you-that is, if you feel comfortable and hit the targets  in a consistant manner then you found the right shotgun. It all comes down to fit and practice, practice. Some people think the more they spend or how "rich" the shotgun looks the better they'll shoot; I have a Perazzi in the safe which I can't hit the side of the barn with.

Just as 1marty stated, it all depends on what works best for you. Are you planning on shooting sporting clays primarily?

I'm planning on shooting mostly trap with  a little clays thrown in. A friend has a browning recoilless for sale> I don't know anything about them. He said they were only made for acouple of years. Has anybody heard of them. I know they are just a single shot so doubles would be out but I'm not sure how many doubles i'd shoot anyway. What would be a good price for this.

Thanks
Rick

I like a 32" barrel for trap and a shorter one for sporting clays. I use an XT for trap and a Model 12 field gun for sporting clays. I guess that there is no inherent advantage in the length of barrel, except for the fact that a longer sight plane seems to make it easier for some on the trap line.
