LET US GO AFIELD 



probably no better sporting rifle made today than 

 our Springfield army weapon, restocked for prac- 

 tical sporting purposes. For the average man one 

 modern Springfield and one double express would 

 be African battery enough. At the extreme limit 

 these two guns, with the addition of a .405, would 

 be all the equipment one would need. 



The guns of Speke and Grant and Baker all 

 those old chaps who used to raise our hair in horror 

 when we were boys are in the discard now. Be- 

 fore you undertake to rival their feats, learn the 

 general proposition that you must be cool at the 

 test and that you must have confidence in your gun 

 must know what it and yourself will do. In these 

 present days of almost perfect firearms it is a good 

 deal safer to bet on what the gun will do than on 

 what its owner will in actual big game conditions. 

 The best combination for either factor, or for both, 

 is that which most closely approximates fool-proof- 

 ness.
