Hi there I have not done any competitive shooting yet but am gearing up. I found a stoeger m3000 that has a 30" barrel on it that I can trade an older carry gun I dont use anymore for. Would the 30" barrel be to long for competitive shooting in 3 gun? I would be adding a +8 tube so the tube would only stick out about 2-4" past the barrel with a 30"
Thanks Brandon |

If you're adding a tube longer than the barrel it's not really going to make much difference. A few extra inches of shotgun barrel doesn't weigh much and you can always just swap it out with a new shorter barrel later if you really want.

thanks for the response.
I noticed most shotgun owners seem to shoot slugs out of 20-26" barrels, will the 30" barrel give any problems when shooting slugs? |

If your tube will be flush or beyond the barrel, there's little to no downside to going as long as you want.
It will be fine. |

if it's a good deal, do it. it'll be many matches before it matters how long your barrel is
