I'm looking to get a 24" barrel for my SX3 for turkey hunting (currently has a 28" barrel, with the extended choke I have to be near the back of my blind to aim properly)

Some help would be appreciated. Or am I better off buying a new shotgun for turkey? (due to barrel price)

Once upon a time, before we had blinds and short barrelled "Turkey" shotguns, we almost sent the gobblers to the same place as the Passenger pigeon! Maybe I'm missing something here...

Sorry to say some hunters have ADHD and require a blind to even hunt ;) I fidget way to much

I think he was saying was run what you got, the extra length you have will not disappoint the turkey that wanders into your sight picture ;)
But, as has been mentioned contact your local Winchester Dealer and see what options they have available to you and go from there.
If that doesnt work see your local gun dealer and buy a dedicated turkey gun.

I hunt just fine with my 28" sx3 the turkeys don't know the difference and I use and extended undertaker choke so it's like 28.5". Sx3 barrels are in the $700-850 range. Good luck finding one. Maybe prophet River could import one for you.

4" does not make a difference in the turkey blind.
 
I replaced the barrel on my sx3 for $400 directly from browning. Hindsight I should have just cut the bulge out and shortened it.
