I “compromised” on my 16 bore round action and bought a gun with 27” barrels. 28” is my minimum, ordinarily. Sometimes it is necessary to compromise on a desired aspect of a gun in order to acquire an obscure caliber or configuration. The gun is well balanced, lightweight 6lbs., completely hand made, and engraved by a well known engraver, And I shoot it very well. But when I carry it, it just feels stubby. I can’t quantify or measure the feeling, which may be unwarranted, but it is there. I don’t think I will buy another 27” gun…
