Most clays shooters choose 30 for balance. I would recommend that. 30 will bring a little more in resale for that reason. 26 is hunting barrel for quick reaction. 28 a good compromise. When you pick the gun up with forend hand at receiver/ forearm joint does it balance? There are inexpensive...
Just a quick reply, trying to not go long as I could.
I have owned A300, Browning Citori,(2 versions) Beretta Silver pigeon, now own Browning Maxus 2 Ultimate and Special Silver, Beretta A400 Upland which came with Kickoff and I replaced the KO stock with upgraded wood from Coles, no kickoff...
Just an additional observation: there is a significant recoil difference between “inertia” guns and gas guns. Franchi and Benelli are both inertia guns with significantly higher felt recoil. Gas guns like Berettas and Brownings have less felt recoil because it is spread out over a recoil spring...

I agree Beretta Fake Wood is ugly, but if you want their excellent Kickoff especially mid stock version on Upland, you have no other options. I intend to put Cole $1250 wood and Falconstrike recoil pad on an A400 Upland as an alternative, and it will be over $3k and not as good recoil reduction...
The reason I did not compare my Fabarm (with real, high quality walnut furniture) to the Xcel Sporting is that my gun, by choice is a sub 7 lb gun and the Xcel (fine gun, too!) is a 7 lb 13 ounce plus gun. Both the Beretta XPlor and Upland are sub 7 lb guns, so comparable to mine. And yes, if...
Hey, Greglat1, you need to give a warning about your signature line! :D:D I sprayed my bourbon and ginger across the room and almost peed my khakis!
