CHICOPEE FALLS, 

 MASS. 



EXTRACTS from actual 

 letters received. The full 

 name of any party can l>e 

 licul on application. 



I can truly say I have never seen 

 an imperfect gun from the Stevens' 

 factory. Dr. A. R. O., Dundee, N.Y. 



I killed 5 turkeys out of 6 shots 40 

 rods, and then was ruled out, pretty 

 good for a 32 caliber, and wind 1 low- 

 ing. F. H. P., Crown Point, N. V. 



I received the Rifle all right.apd 

 parties are well saiisfied with it; 

 they have shot a bull's-eye of i% 

 in the centre at 15 rods. Everv one 

 thinks it is a fine gun. C. W. Y., 

 Barton, Wash. Co., Wis. 



Just received the 38 caliber Ste- 

 vens' Bine. My fir.-t target was 4 

 bull's-eyes and one shot % inch from 

 the eye, out of 5 shors. I then wiped 

 out my gun and made 2 bull's-eyes 

 on a 6 inch target at 200 yards, in 

 succession. You can cheerfully add 

 my testimonial, as I think for accu- 

 racy and penetration the Stevens' 

 Xifle cannot be beaten. F. H. P., 

 Crown Point, N. Y. 



My PocketRifle is the best shooter 

 in the country- I have killed ducks 

 200 yards with it. M. E. H., Tule 

 Lake, Oregon. 



The Stevens' Pistols take the cake 

 everywhere. L.W.C., Seymour, Ct. 



I recently made 18 out of possible 

 20 at 200 yards, with my 32 cal. Ste- 

 vens' Rifle. F. D. S., Dubuque, la 



I have tested my Stevens' Rifle ; 

 it will shoot 300 yards accurately. 

 It is a daisy. D. R. B., Somerset, K y. 



At the shooting match here on the 

 4th, I beat everything with my Ste- 

 vens' Rifle No. 7, 32 cal., making 48 

 out of 50 at 200 yards off-hand. 11 

 clubs shot. W. H. H., Presque Isle. 



I have one of your 10 inch 22 cal. 

 old Model Rifles. It has seen xa 

 years' service, and is still a good 

 shooter. I consider it one of the 

 best weapons 1 have ever seen. W. 



F. B., Raleigh, N. C. 



The new Model Pocket Rifle is 

 worth its weight in gold. D. F., Mt. 

 Vernon, Ind. 



I have at the present time 5 Ste- 

 vens' Rifles, and they are all good 

 ones. C. O. F., Council Bluffs, Iowa. 



I shot at a chicken 100 yards mea- 

 sured distance with a Stevens' 28 in. 

 22 cal. Rifles and hit it the second 

 shot. Also shot at its head sticking 

 through a board at 50 yards and 

 killed it the first shot, shooting beinf 

 done off-hand. F. M. McM., Star, 

 Rush Co., Ind. 



I fired 100 yards at a 6 inch ring 

 and hit it twice out of three times. 

 Am very much pleased with my 

 Stevens' Rifle. C. C. H., Hallowell, 

 Minn. 



I must say I fully believe the Ste- 

 vens' Rifles are as near perfection as 

 is possible. I shall recommend Ste- 

 vens' goods in ail places. I can't 

 tell you how 1 enjoy the Little Pet. 



G. D. W., Chesterfield, Me. 



The Hunter's Pet is all you said it 

 ■was. It is good for any distance 

 from one to two hundred yards. H. 

 & T„ Eminence, Ky. 



I think my Stevens' Rifle is a 

 splendid little Gun to shoot. I can 

 hit a place as big as a half dollar 12 

 rods every time. F. W. H., South 

 Stratford, Vt. 



My Stevens' Rifle takes the cake 

 every time. L. H., Lawrence, Mass. 



I have a Stevens' Hunter's Pet, 

 24 inch, 32 cal., and 1 have never 

 had it beat yet. S. S. L., Halcot- 

 ville, N. Y. 



The little Stevens' Rifle I bought 

 last Fall proved satisfactory in every 

 respect. I have made some wonder- 

 ful shots with it. I killed a hawk 

 250 yards and squirrels joo yards. 

 G. W. L., M.D., Cavuga, Hinds Co., 

 Miss. 



I have used a Stevens' Rifle for 2 

 years, 22 cal., and has given me per- 

 fect satisfaction. J. S. M., Green- 

 ville, S. C. 



In regard to its shooting I never 

 saw a Rifle that could equal my little 

 Stevens. A. R. O., Dundee, N. Y. 



I should like to testify to the me- 

 rits of the Stevens' Rifle which I 

 have. It is 10 inch, 32 caliber. Du- 

 ring the last summer I have killed 

 27 woodchucks and have not made 

 a specialty of hunting th»m either. 

 A. W. U., Kensington, Conn. 



STEVENS' "PREMIER" RIFLES, Nos. 7 and 8 



Rim or Center Fire. 



American Field, Jan. 10, 1885.— " The next gun 

 •was a 22 caliber Stevens, and a pair of beautiful 

 pistols, made by Stevens, on the Loid pattern. 

 These weapons Dr. Carver uses on the stage, and 

 does all his fancy shooting with . I saw him during 

 the morning shoot with these pistols, in two con- 

 secutive shots, two half dollars thrown in the air, 

 and he sent them whizzing away with holes nearly 

 through the center of both. Opening a window, 

 and calling upon Hans (one of his attendants) to

fix up a target, I saw him shoot twenty shots, fired 

 at forty steps, and the bullets could all be covered 

 with a ten cent piece." 



Mr. Reeves, in American Field, Dec 6, 1884.— 

 "Regarding the feat of Mr. Ira A. Paine with a 

 Stevens' Gallery Pistol, 22 caliber. He put sev- 

 eral shots in a one inch bullseye in a card, held in 

 a lady's hand at ten yards, and then hit the card 

 edgewise three shots out of four. Small cards 

 measuring four and a half by three inches were

then substituted with three spots in the center of 

 the card, like the three of hearts when he put a 

 shot through each heart. The next feat was firing 

 at a walnut and grape placed on the top of his 

 wife's head, on a small pedestal about one inch 

 high. He knocked the grape off the first shot, 

 and then the walnut at the second shot, all at the 

 same distance — ten yards."

TT^TTT V snou ^ ever Y Lawyer, Doctor, 

 VV il i Preacher, Teacher, or any one 

 who needs pleasant .recreation to draw the 

 mind away from their daily cares, buy and 

 constantly use some one of the various 

 arms made by J. Stevens Arms &Tool Co.? 



BUT* A TTCT? y° u can have more 

 JDJZiOxi U ££l fun in a day with 

 a Stevens' Rifle or Pocket Rifle than with 

 a common weapon in a whole year. 



TJTJTI A TTCJT? when any one prac- 

 IjfJWXi U 0£j rices with weapons of 

 such wonderful accuracy the interest does 

 not diminish, but increases constantly- 

 You can practice an hour or two a day, a 

 hundred and fifty times in a year, without 

 tiring. When your skill is such that you 

 can make targets like the first, try it at a 

 longer distance and you will be surprised 

 at the pleasure that results from the 

 accomplishment of the object.

I remain the owner of a Hunters' Pet Rifle, which 

 twice the money cannot buy. I cannot cease to recom- 

 mend it. J. A. Ma, Tipton, Tenn. 



Would not sell my Stevens' single shot 3% inch Pistol 

 for $5 if I could not get another one. H. S. V., Sandy 

 Lake, Mercer Co., Pa. 



I am entirely lost without the Stevens' Rifle, for it is a 

 perfect gem. I would not part with it. I killed a night 

 heron with it 68 yards and have killed swallows on the 

 wing. It is what you call a new model, with skeleton 

 stock. L. L. S., Lansdale, Montg. Co., Pa. 



One week ago to-day I took my 10 inch. New Model 

 Rifle and went hunting gophers, and I killed 14 out of 

 only seeing 75, shooting some of them as far as 8 rods. 

 Your new Model Pocket Rifles can't be beat for shooting 

 small game. E. R., Hunter, Boone Co.. Ills. 



My little 6 inch Stevens' Pistol has proved more than a 

 success, as it is a surprise to all who see it shoot. To hit 

 a copper cent at 60 feet is no trick at all. I am highly 

 pleased with it. C. E. M., Columbus, Wis. 



The 18 inch Pocket Rifle which I bought, I am happy 

 to state, hasgiven me the greatest pleasure in its use, both 

 as regards accuracy and convenience. On my trip to 

 Cuba last summer, such was the admiration it excited by 

 its accuracy amongst my countrymen, that I managed to 

 sell the weapon for $30.00. E. L. C, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



I went out and shot 50 shots with my Stevens' Rifle, 

 and must say that it shoots the evenest of any 32 cal. Rifle 

 I have ever seen shot. I killed mud hens on the river 

 over 150 yards away. A. A. W., Albany, Wis. 



I went out with a Stevens' 24 inch 32 cal. Rifle in Oct. 

 last, and killed 5 wild turkeys, later in the month I killed 

 6 more, making 11 in 2 days. I killed 1 at 150 yards and 

 another at 200 yards. 1 consider the Stevens' Rifle the 

 neatest, simplest, strongest and best Gun in the market. 

 B. P. B., Searcy, Ark. 



There is a Stevens' 10 inch Pistol here that has a pretty 

 good record. It has killed partridges enough to load a 

 horse, not to mention squirrels and other small fry. For 

 long shots 1 picked a kingbird at 45 yards, and my friend 

 a pigeon at 60 vards. I know it sounds big, but it was 

 done. H. M. R., Yarmouthville, Maine. 



Rec'd the Rifle all right, and it is a good one. I have 

 beat the whole Club at 200 yards. I made the best tar- 

 get last Saturday with it at 200 yards that ever was made 

 on the range. The boys have all fallen in love with it. 

 W. H. H., Presque Isle. 



I have used and sold over 200 of Stevens' Rifles and 

 Pocket Rifles in the past 16 years. I can say that no 

 Rifle I have yet sold has given such universal satisfaction 

 as the Stevens'. M. W. D., Winsted, Conn. 



The Stevens' Rifles "knock the spots" off from any 

 thing in this part of the country. G. W. P., Emporia, Kas. 



My Stevens' Pocket Rifle is a splendid shooter, has done 

 the best shooting of any Gun around these parts for the 

 size of a Gun, it is 22 cal. and 15 inch barrel. All Stevens' 

 Rifles and Guns which I have bought are shooting asgood 

 records as this one. and the Pocket Rifles cannot be beat 

 for accuracy. C. H. C, Warden, O. 



The gentlemen I purchased the Hunters' Pet for is 

 much pleased with it. at the first trial he hit a mark the 

 size of a. silver quarter 5 consecutive times at 150 feet, 

 which was the longest distance he could get conveniently. 

 He thinks it is perfect. S. C. S., Baldwinsville, N. Y. 



I have shot a good many Stevens* Rifles and of other 

 makes too, but I never struck a poor shooting Stevens' 

 Gun. C. H. C, Omaha, Neb. 



With my Stevens' Shot Gun at 75 & 80 yards, I have 

 . killed ducks, also a Blue Crane at about the same distance, 

 I seldom missing under that distance. She will drive No. 7 

 ' shot right through Squirrels. My friend is going to sell 

 ' his Gun and buy a Stevens', it would make you :smile to 

 t, see his face when I make a successful long shot. D. W. 

 J C. Martins Ferry, O. 



S I have made 58 out of a possible 60, shooting Stevens' 

 j Rifle off-hand 200 yards. Mass Ring target. F. A. P., 

 I Thomaston, Conn. 



I have 3 of your rifles in use and they cannot be beat. 

 .J. A. W., Batih, Me. 



BU ft A TTC?1? when you buy one of 

 J3£jv2iUu£j these arms you are 

 sure of an accurate shooter. Every arm 

 before it can leave their factory must by 

 actual trial make targets of which the best 

 one above is a fair sample. No Fisher- 

 man's outfit is complete without a two- 

 pound Pocket Rifle with which to knock 

 over any game, large or small, he is likely 

 to come across. 



Mr. Jones, of Pittsburgh, lately made 

 some remarkable 'shooting with Stevens' 

 Rifle, with 22 short cartridge at 

 200 yards. It is something new to 

 see a Rifle with 23 short cartridge com- 

 peting successfully on the 200 yard range 

 with Rifles of the best makers shooting 

 very much larger cartridges. 



Mr. Butler, of Syracuse, N. Y., has four 

 other Rifles of the best makes, but says he 

 uses his little Stevens' a dozen times as 

 much as all the rest, it is so con- 

 venient to cany and so ■wonderfully 

 accurate. 



Mr. R. B. Fuller, 172 South Clark St., 

 Chicago, has a twenty dollar Stevens' Rifle 

 that has been used in his shooting gallery 

 every day for eight years, which 

 is now in good order, after having been 

 shot over 500,000 times. 



Mr. Carpenter, of Louisville, Ky., 

 lately went to a turkey shoot and secured 

 7 turkeys in a couple of hours. 

 He shot a 22 caliber 18 inch New Model 

 Pocket Rifle weighing 2% pounds, at 



225 yards. 



Mr. Ingersoll, who has fwo of the finest 

 shooting galleries in Pittsburgh, (and prob- 

 ably in the world,) has at present Thirty- 

 one (31) Stevens' Rifle s in use in 



his galleries. 



R. P. Cory, of Consecon, Canada West: 

 I have used for three years a Stevens' 22 

 caliber Pocket Rifle, have shot it about 

 15,000 times, can kill all sorts of small 

 game with it a great deal farther than with 

 the best Shot Gun, For squirrel shooting 

 I will match this little Pocket 

 Rifle against any man with the 

 best Shot Gun that can be 

 brought forward. 



From American Field.—" For careful 

 boring and grooving, and perfection of 

 workmanship in every particular, / con- 

 sider the Stevens' Rifle the superior of 

 any in the market." COQTJINA- 



If I could not get another Stevens' Gun like mine I 

 would not take its weight in silver for mine. A. L, Green- 

 ville, S. C. 



I am highly satisfied with my Stevens' 32 Pocket Rifle., 

 I only can tell you that I never have had a Pistol in my 

 hand that has so much accuracy at long ranges. All the 

 Pistols of celebrated European makers I have used (costing 

 4 times as much) never gave me such satisfaction. Baron 

 H. S.. Washington, D. C. 



People begin to inquire about the Gun that put 3 shots 

 in that card, 15 rods. D. W., West Randolph, Vt. 



I have a Stevens' Rifle which I claim to be the best in 

 the market. A. D. Y., Farmington, N. H. 



The Stevens' Guns of any kind speak for themselves and 

 they are the kind we have been looking for. W. W. W., 

 Fountain, Colo. 



Am in every way well pleased with my Stevens' Hunt- 

 ers' Pet, it shoots splendidly. N. R. V., Cohoes, N. Y. 



I have a Stevens' 15 inch new model Pocket Rifle 1 

 year. I used it all last Winter in California, killing in all 

 over 150 birds, from a Hummer to a Pelican, sitting and 

 flying, at from 25 feet to 250 yards. C. E. S., Cleveland, 

 Ohio. 



The Stevens' are the Best little Rifles I have ever seen, 

 we have been shooting the "22 short" forty rods and doing 

 good shooting. H. L. D., New Lyne Station, O.
