Not all guns are balanced the same. For example an aluminum receiver gun like a Beretta Ultralite O/U or Citori Featherweight or similar guns will have noticeably different balance points than thier steel recievered versions. Length of pull can drastically change feel. If you are a tall guy with long arms again you need a different setup. I also think George Digby could outshoot us all even if he shot 20" barrelled cowboy action gun. Still, if you don't think you are going to necessarily keep the gun a 28" will sell better.

Ever try breaking a 28 inch stack barrel in a duck blind or a boat?
S/S is marginally better in that situation.
On the sporting fields, any length will do. I have fallen for the new wave and shoot 32's for everything, but I suspect 24's would work as well with practice.

Just switched from 28" to 32" for sporting clays. I don't buy the longer sighting radius thing that some speak of. That makes sense going from a 4" bbl 1911 to a 5" - but with clays we don't aim. Heck, for the most part, I don't even see the barrel anymore - just the front edge of the bird. ...but my brain knows where the barrel is and seems to quite like the new one.
Of course, it's nearly a pound and a half more which is making my arms a little longer walking around the course. If only I could figure out how to make my legs longer. The city built the sidewalk too close to my butt.
