""30" barrels are a must, for an English gun!""
I have a J P Clabrough SLNE with 28" bbls that is one of the best shooting guns I ever owned. I can think of absolutely nothing an extra two inches of bbl would add except unnecessary wt & slowing of it's swing. Of course perhaps the fact i'm only about 5'8" has some to do with it. I think the length of a person's arms has a lot to do with the length of bbl which best serve him. I don't much care what fashion dictates, 28" is my favorite bbl length for a double.
