I have a pair of SKB 20s. One short (~25"), one long (~27") and I can't hit much of anything with the short gun and yet, I shoot the longer one better than almost any gun I own. I have no idea why. On the pattern board, they both shoot to the same center.
Brent, where did you find an SKB 20ga with 27" barrels? The 20's imported by Ithaca were all either 25" or 28". Have the Turks made some 27" 20ga SKB's?
I misremember the lengths of SKBs. I have a long and a short, whatever lengths they happen to be. That makes for a good comparison of the effect of longer barrels since the rest of both guns are really apples to apples for comparative purposes.
Interestingly, the long barreled gun has a very noticeable banana curve to it. Someone here told me that this is purposefully done at the factory when they are regulated. Certainly, the gun shoots a nice, slightly above PoA pattern and I hit very well with it. But I can't steer that 25" gun for beans.
