but that ad hypes the long range killing power. not specifically a model called the "Long Range".

in fact it shows a Trojan - so a Parker Trojan is a long range - as is any tightly choked Parker

I’ve not paid a whole lot of attention to the chokes in most of my guns other than points of constriction. But the redone AH Fox HE I had for a month or so last summer had to be the tightest and longest choked taperwise gun I’ve ever possessed .

I have a BHE 12 gauge, #3 frame, 34 inch barrels, 3 inch chambers, that weighs more than I do. Choked extra full/extra full. It was originally owned by a big time duck hunter from Peoria (not Fred Kimble). I assume it was intended as a long range shooter. At least it has proven to be a long range shooter.
