It has a lot to do with if your looking at the old type shotguns or today's new type with the screw in chokes and new type turkey loads a short barrel gun will shot circles around a longer barrel gun. I've got a 12 ga, remington 870 with a 21 inch barrel and at 20 yards with federal 3 in. 2 oz. 5's it will almost cut a 2x4 in half and out to 40 yards it's turkey bad...

Well Lucky i disagree with you...i will take my short barrel gun any day over a long barrel...Why do you think these people are buying these short barrel 20 ga, and with the right load and choke it will shoot with a 12 ga..
