Reading this tread on "long range" doubles has had me captivated and it will probably end up costing me more $$ because I'll start looking to acquire one. That said I'm fairly new to the double gun world, I started acquiring doubles in 2020 which has lead to 3 L.C. Smiths 12ga Ideal, 16ga Ideal, 20ga Specialty, Fox 16ga sterling, and 3 parkers 12's 2 DHE's and a VHE. I'm no stranger to the shotgun world I shoot trap, skeet and sporting clays at competitively for 20 plus and I'm a avid bird hunter. My 12ga VHE Remington era is a 30 in barrel chocked M/F is murder on ducks at 40 yards plus with Bismuth loads and performs like a champ on ZZ targets with 1oz 71/2 loads. I would definitely consider that gun a "long range" double. Now I have to distract the CEO (wife) long enough so I can fine one of these "long range" doubles you all are referring to I'll blame this group if I get caught
