THE GAME BREEDER 



85 



Warning Signals. 



Warning signals against "swipes" have 

 been ordered displayed by the Game 

 Conservation Society throughout the 

 middle west. Sportsmen and game 



breeders should be alert everywhere in 

 this area. Common sense still prevails 

 in Texas, throughout the south and on 

 the Pacific coast where the Game 

 Breeder is well represented. 



FITTING UP A .22 REPEATER FOR FINE TARGET WORK. 



No. 1. The New Remington UMC No. 12-C N. R. A. Target Grade Repeating Rifle. 



Small bore rifle shooting under the direction 

 of the National Rifle Association of America 

 has for its principal object the instruction of 

 our citizens in the art of rifle shooting as a 

 sport and as practical preparedness measure. 

 Its increasing popularity gives unmistakable 

 evidence that it has taken a strong hold on 

 those who love to shoot the rifle. 



During the past few years the N. R. A. 

 has organized many of its clubs into leagues, 

 in fact the league competitions for the winter 

 of 1917 showed a membership of over 100 

 clubs. 



Most of the shooting is done from the slow 

 free prone position and while this kind of 

 shooting is undoubtedly of value, the great war 

 has demonstrated that expertness in slow fire 

 shooting does not mean a complete rifle edu- 

 cation. Rapidity of fire is more important, but 

 requires suitable arms in order to obtain the 

 best lesults. 



With the exception of the 22 Krag and 

 Springfield Army rifles, which are not alto- 

 gether satisfactory, there has been no arm on 

 the market that would fill the demand for a 

 suitable rifle for both slow and rapid fire 

 shooting in the various positions used. Single 

 shot rifles, as a rule, are not easy to load and 

 handle in rapid fire work, and the repeaters, 

 while admittedly extremely accurate, were not 

 very satisfactory for slow fire work because 

 they lacked the sling strap, .so necessary in 

 holding a rifle steady. 



The Remington Arms Union Metallic Cart- 

 ridge Company has for some time been ex- 

 perimenting on the repeating rifle with a view 

 to making it suitable for all round use in slow 

 and rapid fire shooting in all positions and at 

 short range distances up to 100 yards. These 

 experiments have resulted in th6 production 

 of No. 12C N. R. A. Target Grade Repeat- 

 ing Rifle (illustrated herewith). Essentially 

 it is the same as the regular Model 12-C Re- 

 peater, so popular with the rifle shooting fra- 

 ternity. The new model is fitted- with the 

 Lyman globe and aperture windgauge front 

 sight and Lyman elevating tang peep sight 

 with cup disc. The sling strap is fitted to a 

 ring on the rear magazine band at a point 

 which allows great pressure in the strap with- 

 out in the least affecting -the groups : made by 

 the rifle. 



Judging from the remarkable experimental 

 groups made with regular stock rifles in the 

 hands of practical and competent rifle shots, 

 the new rifle will undoubtedly attain great 

 popularity among the followers of the small 

 bore rifle shooting game. 



For slow and rapid fire target shooting in all 

 positions and at all distances up to 100 yards 

 the No. 12-C N. R. A. Target Grade Re- 

 peater is undoubtedly in a class by itself. 

 Many sportsmen have hesitated about buying 

 a heavy, single shot arm useful only for tar- 

 get work, and they will welcome a rifle well 

 adapted to both bullseye shooting and small 

 game hunting.
