I just like the branding "Long Range". What duck hunter could resist!!!! The LR way outsold the SF due in my opinion to Hunters pricing. Nice gun Frank hope u kill a few ducks before the season ends. I own a LR and like it very much.

As all of us know, this "long range" hype among the Fox, Parker, and Smith people comes out fairly equally on the pattern board. The best long range 1 1/4 ounce #4 lead shot patterns I have shot came from a 30" Sterlingworth and will probably be equaled by other Sterlingworths, Parkers, Smiths, and Super Foxes in years to come. I still have those pattern sheets and still have the #4 lead shot loads to test. I could fire the Super Foxes at the same pattern sheets, but would be unlikely to improve on the 90% patterns thrown by my old Sterlingworth. Of course, I could give it a try. I wonder how the Nash Buckingham 1 3/8 ounce copper #4 Super X loads would print on paper? I have a few of the old lead #4 loads squirrelled away. Maybe someone could give up a few of the copper 1 3/8 ounce loads to compare.

I sure could use more time to judge my lead! I think my letter to Santa must be in the dead letter box...
