Interesting, this "Super 12" has the longest chokes I've ever measured to include Super-Fox guns = chokes full tapered and their leades starting a little more than 6" back from the muzzles.

Interesting again. But keep in mind that Nash Buckingham gave up his 34 in
barreled Parker in favor of a Becker-bored Super Fox. Based on the patterns achieved on deceased geese and wild turkey at above 50 yards with coppered No. 4 shot or bore-safe enviro-metal shot, my HE Super Fox must also have been overbored, choked and polished by Bert Becker. That said , every shotgun is a law unto itself-as to shot
patterns at known distances.
