Mike, one other thing to consider about the Long Range Hunter is that it has custom spiral fluting on the barrel. Most people are not a fan of this or Knight would have probably sold more of these guns. Use the zoom feature on the link that cayugad gave you to zoom in on the barrel. You will be able to see what I am talking about. Personally, if I bought a new ML today, it would probably be the Pro Hunter or a custom Encore from TC's custom shop. Probably the latter. Another gun to consider would be the TC Omega. I have one and it is a good ML.
