21". Longer barrels are only good for clearing brush in front of you when you sit down. I’ve owned and used 18.5” to 32” barrels. The longer barrels tend to be comparatively easier to pattern with a wider variety of chokes. Marginally greater velocities too. And, a pain in the azz. Anything over 24-26” (in a non-break action gun) and I feel like I have to back up to point it in the woods. I prefer not only a shorter barrel, but also a short length of pull. Less than 40” overall length is ideal for me and just fun to carry. Top it with a red dot and no worries about aiming or pointing. Takes little effort to pick up (sometimes 1-handed) and creates less detectable movement when adjusting to an incoming turkey. Doesn’t snag on every vine and low limb when carrying on a sling.
