What barrel length?

[Coues assassin]

I have an older Remington 1100 that I completely went through cleaned and replaced older parts. It has a fixed full 30in barrel on it and I was looking at getting a new barrel. I love the 1100 so I was wanting to buy a new barrel where I can change out the chokes. I already have a slug barrel and this fixed full 30in I was debating on buying either 26 or 28. I will mostly be using it for dove/quail but also want it for duck! So 26 or 28?

I would get a 28 inch barrel the 26 swing faster and will take time to learn to hit with.

28 preferably but 26 will work

If you're going to hunt ducks with it I'd get a 28". If it was just quail I'd do a 26". But with a semi auto your receiver will be longer than a O/U so a 28" will probably be more like a 30".

Use it to smoke your thunder chicken first.

Thanks everyone 28 it is!

I'm gonna try it with the bow

I shoot a tiger red label with 28" barrels. I really like that length for bird and skeet shooting. For quail I might actually like a 26" barrel for a faster swing and less weight to carry around

Save your money. Send the barrel to Briley. They will thread the barrel and provide 3 chokes ( your choice) for $199.00. Most guys that have 2 or 3 barrel sets rarely use them.
