The 16 and 20 bores give shooting fully equal to a 12-guage upon the old 

 system of boring. They are much handier, and economize ammunition, 

 have less recoil, and therefore do not produce such exhaustion, especially in 

 hot countries, or with gentlemen who are not in robust health, or who are 

 no longer young. The 12-guage on the new system is a most powerful 

 weapon, and makes a first-rate pigeon gun.

TESTIMONIALS (from a Large Number). 



" Messrs. J. & W. TOLLET. The double rifle you sent me acquitted itself well ; it 

 made the highest score, standing position, at 150 yards, in the Northern India Rifle 

 Association, Second Sportsman's Contest for 1874, and that without having had any 

 practice with it whatever.

" Messrs. TOLLET, " Athlone, May 20th, 1872. 



" I yesterday fired with the Rifle without raising the back sight, from 25 to 

 200 yards, and almost every shot struck its fellow from the other barrel.

"Messrs. TOLLET, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of two ' Express ' Rifles, and 



box of ammunition ; everything correct and in first-rate order. The Rifles are in 



every particular what I required, and I am greatly pleased with them ; they shoot 



accurately, and there is absolutely no recoil.

"SIRS, My * Express' is thought highly of here, both as regards finish and 

 accuracy ; I was much pleased with it during my shooting trip in North Canara, in 

 April and May. My average of kills was higher with it than with any other rifle 

 I ever used, and I don't recollect losing any beast I hit with it ; the effect was most 

 deadly, and, to my thinking, equal to those of a 12-bore. I am sorry I cannot 

 give you my experience of its effects on bison, as the season was altogether uni 

 favourable for those animals there was no rain, so stalking them was all but 

 impossible; I however got a shot at one with the 'Express' the shoulder-blade 

 was completely smashed to pieces, and I need not have fired again, except to put the 



beast out of pain. I tried at 100 yards a bran-new '500 bore ' Express' by , 



against yours, using same ammunition in both. Your Rifle made a mean deviation 



of 0'38 inches, and his 0'51 inches; both Rifles were fired at same time and place. 



" Yours faithfully, " W. H. McMATH, Lieut. 66th Regt."
