I recently won a Savage 223 Varminter Rifle at a RMEF banquet - hooyah, it only took like 2 dozen banquets to finally win a gun!
It's a sweet gun, but the chances of me really using this gun are pretty slim so I'm going to either trade it or sell it outright.
I'm looking at the new Remington 870 Super Mag Turkey/Waterfowl combo. This gun comes with a 26" barrel and I've always hunted waterfowl with a 28" on my Winchester - what are your thoughts on the 26 vs 28 regarding pattern/distance/performance? For you waterfowl guys, does this matter very much for birds over decs? I think it might be nice for a couple things -quicker swing in the blind and less gun to tote pheasant hunting.
Here is the 870 I'm considering...has anyone seen this camo pattern in person on a gun? No gun shops in town where I live have one yet so I haven't seen it.

If anybody is interested in the 223 let me know.
Thanks!
