3 HARD HITTERS 



Here are Three Hard Hitters from our 43 different models. Every gun made 

 in The Factory of Precision, be it Rifle, Shotgun or Pistol, hits hard and true. 



STEVENS 

 FAVORITE 



No. 17. LIST Price, $6.00 



There are more Stevens 

 Favorite Rifles sold than 

 any other Rifle Model in 

 the world, because they 

 are more accurate than 

 some rifles that sell up to 

 fifty dollars. 



Used by boys because of 

 the price — used by men 

 because of Bull's-Eye 

 Accuracy. 



We make 1800 Favorite 

 Rifles a week — that's 

 why we can sell them 

 at the price we do and 

 make them by the same 

 methods and with the 

 same skill used in 

 making our heavier 

 Rifles that hold 

 World's Records. 



This Rifle and the 

 other models 

 shownare covered 

 by the 



Stevens 

 Guarantee 



which is a guar- 

 antee that 

 binds. 



STEVENS 

 VISIBLE LOADING 

 REPEATING RIFLE 



No. 70. LIST Price, $8.00 



You have fifteen quick shots 

 without reloading — twelve if 

 you use .22 Long Rifle cart- 

 ridges. Two Models : One 

 takes .22 short only, the other 

 takes any one of three cart- 

 ridges — .22 short, .22 long 

 and .22 long Rifle, but the 

 greatest accuracy is 

 obtained by using .22 long 

 Rifle exclusively in this 

 model. 



You see the cartridge go 

 into the chamber, you know 

 when the gun is loaded and 

 ready to shoot. 



This model is used ex- 

 tensively throughout 

 the country for exter- 

 minating such pests as 

 gophers, weasels, rab- 

 bits, rats, squirrels, 

 raccoons, wood- 

 chucks, hawks, hares, 

 crows and other crop 

 thieves. The rifling 

 in this barrel is so 

 precise that the same 

 cartridge will shoot 

 straighter and with 

 greater penetra- 

 tion than it will in 

 any other rifle. 



STEVENS 



REPEATING 



HAMMERLESS 



SHOTGUN 



No. 520. LIST Price, $27.00 



You cannot buy any other 

 Repeating Shotgun at any 

 price that has all these 

 advantages : 



1. Thesafetyofasolidsteel 

 wall between you and the 

 shell. 



2. The Nrn-Ba'kable 

 feature which makes it 

 impossible for the 

 quickest hand to clog it. 



3. Easy-working 

 mechanism that with 

 Non-Balkable feature 

 gets in six shots with 

 lightning-like rapidity. 



4. Perfected balance and 

 racy lineswhichmake this 

 gun a Natural Fc inter. 



Young shooters get 

 into the " si- re-shot 

 class" and old shoot- 

 ers improve their 

 scores quicker with a 

 Stevens than with 

 any other Repeater 

 known. The bal- 

 ance and general 

 finish of the gun 

 makes this pos- 

 sible.
