I'm looking to buy a new Mossberg 930 after looking at a few shotguns in this price range. I've looked at the SPR and the Stoeger 2000, but decided to spend my money on an American product. I have had a Mossberg 500 ISB rifled for quite a few years and has never failed me. I like the fact that there are alot of barrels and accessories availible and i like the fact that mossbergs come with a ported barrel(yes i know they bark a bit louder).

At any rate I don't know what size of a barrel to buy.

I want to use it for skeet/sporting clays, turkey, upland birds(grouse and partride) and occasional goose and duck hunting. I'll probably sell my scoped 500 and buy a rifled ISB barrel for it for deer hunting.

What size would you reccomend for the all purpose version? 26" 28" ? I would think 24" would be to short.
