Hi all, just wanted to get your thoughts on this subject. When I was younger, short bbls were all the rage for upland birds, you know, 26" for repeaters and no more than 28" for doubles (even this length was considered long). Now the current thinking is 28-30" bbls for hunting and 30-32" for SC.

I know that bbl length is a matter of personal choice just as other aspects of the sport (ST or DT, english or pistol grips, etc)

So when do you think the pendulum swing back to shorter bbls? Or will it?

Your thoughts.

All the best!!
