I do not make a decision on what I shoot based on what the fad is. I do so after trying the alternatives and evaluating what works best for me, in shooting sporting ........ what breaks the most targets for me. One example of that is that I do not shoot choke tubes, preferring fixed MOD chokes in both barrels. It could be said that changing choke tubes is a fad, too. I have never been able to shoot a 34" gun enough to tell if it would gain me any targets.
My feelings are that handling characteristics of a gun are interpreted differently by those of differing physiques. The numbers on the gun don't change, but how they feel to a 5' 8" man with a 26" sleeve length is going to be light years different from a man who may be 6' 4" and wears a 36" sleeve. He will hold the forend so much further away from the balance point that the mounted swing effort will be drastically different. What has that got to do with this discussion? Just that the length of the barrels should never be judged without considering the physique of the man shooting it. If the 6' 4" guy shoots better scores with a 15 3/4" LOP why wouldn't it be possible for him to do better with longer barrels, too?
SRH And Wonk, you should read this reply by Stan every morning for 2 weeks, or as needed, on a regular basis, until your narrow mind begins to open somewhat. It won't hurt a bit, I promise. JR

JR No doubt With no regret I'll leave this seemingly Hogwarts derived fund of misguided revelations with the thot that 34" O/U barrels, in as much as Perazzi can provide any required barrel weight and likely tailor weight distribution as well, provide no ballistic or mechanical advantage (purposeless) and in fact impose some restraints mechanically that are not found in, say, 75cm barrels. have another day

Thirty four inch barrels are just too much trouble to quickly get out the truck window when the need arises...Geo

It's a known fact among even the most mundane of the SC shooters who actually care about their score. On that fact, I'll bid adieu as well. Have gun will travel. JR

So it's agreeded that midgets shouldn't shoot 34" barrels.... That is what I read in Churchill's Game Shooting if I recall correctly. Long barrels for tall folk and short barrels for folks of shorter stature. It is no longer acceptable to refer to short-statured people as midgets. I do not think it's very bright of someone to pay over $42,000 for gun made for somebody else. This does not hold for mass-produced inexpensive or moderately expensive guns made for someone of average dimensions. Then again as they say some people have more money than........
