Mossberg 500 Turkey 20ga preferred barrel length ?

[NEWYORKHILLBILLY]

I am looking hard at the Mossberg 20 Ga 500 turkey pump gun. It comes two ways a 22" barrel and optic ready. or for another $100 I can get it with  Holosun HS407K installed with a 20" barrel. they both have the extended choke tube witch I believe is not included in barrel length. Witch of these would be the preferred barrel length???
My first thought is the 20" be lighter but maybe the 22" would balance better?

what do you think?

22" for me, 24" would be even better.

If I were to go with the 20" I would trip the open style Holosun for an enclosed model.

anyone else?

22" barrel for me.

Just an fyi. I'd personally go for the 26" if available. The 24" being acceptable. No way no how 2-4" making a difference. That's marketing nonsense but understand the model 500 does not come with a tss choke. That'll be another price. I know we usually switch anyhow but just a heads up.

I am a fan of the 22"

I just bought the 500 with a 22" barrel as a backup gun. I've only shot it a few times but like the barrel length. it feels light and easy to shoulder. I will use it for ducks too.

I have the 22" barrel with the I.C. .562 and put 361 in the 10"and 285 in the 20" #9's @ 40 yards, 3" 2oz., that's about as good as I could ask for, I like a short barrel for turkey hunting. I don't see any advantage to having a longer barrel, only disadvantages,

I like a short barrel for turkey hunting. 22" is about as long as I really want one. I think you could flip a quarter for the 2 different lengths and have a win win situation.
