WHY HE PREFERS A PUMP GUN. 



The good points of the repeating shot 

 gun are as evident as are those of the re- 

 peating rifle. Many good sportsmen use 

 repeating rifles, yet they consider the pump 

 gun a game hog's weapon. A man hunt- 

 ing rabbits, hawks, squirrels, foxes, or 

 even ducks may kill more by using a 

 repeater; for quails or grouse, unless he be 

 an exceptional marksman, he will stand a 

 better chance with a double barrel. 

 I have used a Winchester repeating shot 

 gun 3 years and have never been able to 

 shoot more than twice at a bird in the 

 woods, unless the woods were exceedingly 

 open. 



Why, then, do I use a pump gun? My 

 first reason is that a good repeater can be 

 bought for less than an equally good 

 double gun. I have had many double 

 guns ranging in price from $18 to $25 and 

 all became unsafe after a year's use. 

 My repeater has had hard usage 3 years and 

 does not show it in the least. It is the 

 best gun for general shooting I have ever 

 owned. Never gets out of order, never 

 fails to extract, never jams. I can find 

 only one fault — it is not so pretty as a 

 hammerless double barrel.

I received the Harrington & Richardson 

 gun and am much pleased with it. It does 

 fine work.
