I prefer 28" minimum for barrel length, according to usage, and up to 32" on many of mine. File cut, flat rib. Double triggers for hunting, single trigger for comp. I love ejectors, and the guns my stable consists of proves that out. I could care less about butt treatment, but usually have a pad because i need as close to 15" LOP as is possible and very few doubleguns have that without a pad, of some sort, being added. On any gun that has recoil to speak of I want a pistol or semi-pistol grip. It helps tame recoil significantly for me, which helps me get on the second shot faster. With a .410, straight grips are fine.
