HIGH PRAISE FOR THE SAVAGE. 



I am the owner of what I consider a 

 most excellent weapon, a '99 model Savage. 

 The balance of the arm is perfect, being 

 equal to the highest grade shot gun in 

 that respect. The shooting qualities are 

 first class, the little lead miniatures shoot- 

 ing with the same regularity as the full 

 range. This is one of the fine points of 

 the Savage, and is not possessed by any 

 other high pressure rifle that I know of. 

 The Savage is a beautifully finished gun, 

 strongly built and most simple in construc- 

 tion. It is well worth its price. I have 

 used Savage and Laflin & Rand sporting 

 rifle smokeless powders. I like the latter 

 best for the miniatures ; it can not of course 

 be used in anything larger than miniature 

 charges. I use 8 to 10 grains in the minia- 

 ture lead cartridge, by Laflin & Rand pow- 

 der measure. The bullet is the regular 

 Savage miniature, Ideal No. 30810, weight 

 100 grains. This is a good all around short 

 range bullet ; its point being round it does 

 not tear small game much. 



I should like to hear from some of Rec- 

 reation's readers what success they have 

 had in using the paper patched Savage 

 cartridge. I have my rifle fitted with a 

 Lyman jack sight and Lyman leaf sight. 

 I also have a Savage wind gauge peep 

 sight, which fits on the tang. I note W. 

 F. W.'s trouble with a Savage. He proba- 

 bly used a low front sight. If he puts on 

 high front sight his rifle will, I think, shoot 

 all right. 



I prefer the rifle to any other arm, and 

 my most enjoyable hours are spent with 

 it. I have had more success with the Sav- 

 age than with any other rifle I have owned, 

 as it seems to suit every occasion. 



The Savage people are most gentlemanly 

 and obliging, and willing to make good any 

 defects in their rifles.
