Might pick up one for a backup turkey gun. Any reason to go with the 21" or 26"? I've always had
24-26" barrel guns, namely because I could use them as a multi-purpose gun, but this will be strictly a turkey gun. Leaning towards 26", but not for any real reason. Thoughts?
I have both 21 and 26, strictly turkey gun I would have to go with the 21. I absolutely love mine.

My 21 shoots lights out. It's the way to go

21 in. Easier to carry while slinged , easier to maneuver, lighter. Patterns just as good as longer barrel
21"
Shorter bbls are all the rage today & they do have the advantage of the lighter weight and better maneuverability. But I wouldn't feel handicapped with a 26" bbl at all.
I carried 21 last year. Great pattern and misses limbs over your head when walking through the woods

Thanks guys, but it's a moot point now. I bought the 21". Then had nothing but problems with it so I returned it for a refund.

You are the only person I know of to have problems with an 870. And this wasn't the first one!
