26" and Mr Oxner's recommendation I bought two skeet chokes for my 16 gauge Citori. I used I/C-Mod in the past.

Break open compared to pumps and auto loaders makes a difference in overall length with same barrel length

26" IC on autoloaders but would prefer 24" if it was available. 26" Skeet/IC on my OU and it is just right for me.

30" full choke....yeah I know. where I hunt it's thick and it's not uncommon to have to blast through a mesquite tree just to kill one of them little bass-turds. I shoot an old 1100 mag. Call it my timber cutter rifle

Maybe I should change. Shot a lot of salad in the past with no meat on the other side. Not too fond of eating greens, especially mesquite or mountain cedar.

Favorite quail gun I ever owned was a Remington Special Field 20 ga. with a 21 inch barrel. Looked just like this:
