    I think you be better off, with an older higher end semi, than a budget new one, last time I was in gun city,
    they had racks, of Remington 1100, Browning A5, and SKB 1900, etc, fit is very important in a shotgun, you wont shoot well with poor fit.
    to find out, Close your eyes, swing shotgun up in to a shooting position, for a bird, open your eyes, what you want to see, is just the front bead, you should be square with the rib, (centered), the rib should not show any of the flat, just a line. There is other stuff that comes into it, ie is shotgun comfortable to handle, feel natural.
    Oh and 26" is my personal choice,
    Got-ya, Russian 22. and csmiffy like this.
