I've finally concluded my long search and I'm going to take down a Remington 870 super mag. One final detail is barrel length.

I've read some stuff that says 26 for better pointability, so more geared towards waterfowl, 28 for better accuracy, so more geared towards dear I guess. I've also ready some stuff that says there is pretty much no difference, at least no noticeable difference so buy what feels best.

If I was only going to own a single shotgun, what are your thoughts on barrel length?

The good thing is that the 870 supports a bunch of plug-and-play barrels. I have an 870 also and I have three barrels with it. I have a 20" home defense, a 21" rifled slug barrel with a mounted scope that I use for deer and a 28" field barrel that I use for turkey.
