COMPLETE REVOLUTION 



SPORTING GUNS. 



W. "VV. GREENER'S CHOKE-BORE 



GUSTS have been proved by overwhelming Bvidenoe 

 to be vastly superior to cylinde» bores for all kinds 

 of shooting, from snipe to duck. (See the Letters 

 from Sportsmen in the London Field, datiliv Ir.un 

 November, 1876, to March, 1877.) Deo. 9 a letter ap- 

 pears from F. Milbauk, Esq., M. P., the finest game 

 Bhot in Europe. This gentleman has killed on his 

 own moor 760 grouse in one day. He says: 



" We went out partridge shooting the IaBt week in 

 November. Birds are wild as hawks at this season 

 of the year. Accompanying me were two gentlemen, 

 both first-rate shots. All three of us had equal 

 chances throughout the day. At the end of it one of 

 my friends had seven brace, the other six brace, but 

 the choke had 16Ji brace. / advisedly say the choice, 

 for I am convinced that the gun aione was tbo cause 

 of my overtopping my friends by so large a number. 

 I measured that day three successive shots, 65, 71, 

 and 62 yards, and I have decided to use nothing but 

 the choke-bore for the future, for I consider the 

 choke-boring to be one of the greatest improvements 

 wade on the sporting gun in modern times." 



Tile Champion Triple-Wedge Past Gun 

 has made the best shooting at game ever known. It 

 will stand 10 drachma of powder in the paper shell, 

 and can be obtained in the states at from $150 to $250.
