Go with the 28

use the 28 in. it holds a tighter pattern. it allows you to penetrate the feathers a lot better

Go with the 28 inch barrel. You will get a tighter pattern at a longer distance being more effective. Good luck this season!!!

My Remington 1100 wears a 28 inch full choke barrel. Nice and accurate, it can really reach out for a knockdown with the full choke. Thing really could use a modified choke though.

To be honest, despite what everyone else is saying, my years of experience say there is no real difference…its 2 inches…the choke in the end is what makes the pattern – NOT the barrel length..its a shotgun and cannot be “accurate” you don’t aim, you point.
About all the longer barrel will give you is more line of sight plane and a few oz. more weight. Its up to you..personally I’d go with the 28 because you’ll be shooting at targets farther away and may like the added visual plane and weight for keeping the gun moving.
26 barrels are good for quick point shooting at closer ranges.

dido. i would go with the 28″ barrel. somewhat easier to aim and follow with the longer barrel. the 3.5″ shell for goose is a great shell. not sure if it’s needed for duck. i haven’t hunted ducks in a few years, but hear the tungsten shells reach out there.

one added note! the only time a long barrel comes in play is when you are shooting a black powder muzzle loader,,the longer the barrel the bigger power charge it will burn.meaning longer range and hitting power.

28, tighter pattern ,more reach

I personally wouldn’t use either. Both of my bird guns have 24 inch barrels. The choke is the ONLY reason fou get a tight pattern, and the gunpwfer is all burned within the first 18 inches of the barrel. It does not matter what size load you shoot the maximum range for duck should be 50 yards. And since goose are much tougher to “down” you should use 3 1/2 for them. The tunsten loads I have personally shot, I see no REAL difference in from my normal duck/goose load (PMC 3 1/2 inch #2 shot) I always shhot the 3 1/2 cause I never know when a flock of the geese. or later in the season, a flock of the northern ducks are going to come in, and it is much too hard to eject shells and replace with the larger

The longer the barrel the farther the pattern holds
no doubt use the 28

My choice would be the 28 inch barrell. 1) A 26 inch barrell has a greater propensity of ringing the ears of the people you’re hunting with. 2) Most shotgunners like their barrels to be at least 28, because the extra length helps them get on the target more precisely and helps their swing.
