Sounds like a great deal for a great gun. Barrel length will not offer any difference in pattern quality, range, or accuracy and becomes more of a factor in the swing of the gun. I have always had 28" barrels on my guns but that has always been model specific. For me, the Extrema is a bit on the heavy side at the forend and in playing with that gun the few times that I have, the 26" barrel has been my preference. In reality I could live with either if I had to.
