Unfortunately many British shooters have become convinced that you can not hit thee side of a barn at three feet unless you have at least 30 inch barrels . Even then you may miss and would really need 32 0r 34 in barrels to do so at such a range .As a result 26" & 28" guns are virtually non sellers ,some shops wont take them in part ex or buy them .So they go to auction and people buy them for nothing and tell you what great shooters they are . Strange .[/quote]

The exact same thing happens here, Graham. Once, short barrels were very fashionable, now, they are hard to sell.
