pcc-p-sight, which is fitted behind the top 
lever on the grip. If penetration is re- 
quired, solid nickel-covered bullets are 
used. I did most of my shooting in East 
Africa with this rifle, carrying it slung 
over my right shoulder, when there was 
no immediate need for it. 
A word as to slings. I have never 
found them in the way but often a great 
assistance. The metal swivels usually 
supplied are apt to be noisy just when 
one wants to be particularly silent and I 
prefer to take them off and fasten the 
sling to the eyes on the rifle with raw- 
hide laces instead. 
A 12 bore Shot and Ball Gun, taken 
along originally as a spare in case of 
accident to one of the other rifles, and 
lent to one of my companions who had 
no second gun with him. As much to 
my regret as his, he had no opportunity 
to use it on heavy game and I was thus 
unable to try it out except at a target. 
It is, of course, meant for close quarters 
in thick covert, and makes very good 
grouping up to 100 yards, which is par 
excellence its distance. It weighs 8 
pounds, has 28-inch barrels, rifled at the 
muzzle, and carries a sharp-pointed 
brass-capped bullet of 750 grains, driven 
by the cordite equivalent of 7 drams of 
black powder. It should be excellent for 
all soft-skinned game, and friends in In- 
dia who have used similar guns for 
jungle-shooting speak very highly of its 
handiness and stopping properties. It 
should not be confused with the ordinary 
12 bore ball and shot gun, the charge for 
which is only to 4 drams of black 
powder or its smokeless equivalent, which 
I consider unduly small for the heavy 
bullet. 
All the three double-barreled weapons 
described above were of the hammerless, 
self-ejecting type. 
An 8 m/m INIannlicher-Schonauer, 
bought second-hand in Nairobi to take 
the place of a magnum small bore I had 
brought with me; the ammunition for 
which (immediately post-war stuff) 
proved so unreliable as to entirely pre- 
clude the use of the rifle. I used the 
Mannlicher-Schonauer a fair amount for 
small game and should consider it by 
far the neatest of the bolt-action maga- 
zine rifles with which I am acquainted. 
So far as small game was concerned, 
its accuracy and killing qualities were 
quite satisfactory, but as neither the 
sighting nor stocking suited me, I more 
or less abandoned it in favor of the .400. 
I had never used a magazine rifle before 
and perhaps the experience was not a 
fortunate one as it only confirmed me in 
my devotion to the clouble-barrel type 
of rifle for game-shooting. The latter, 
in my humble opinion, has the follow- 
ing advantages over any magazine 
weapon and which the latter’s multi- 
plicity of shots and lighter weight do not 
appear to me to compensate for : 
Better balance. 
i Greater speed and accuracy in getting 
* in a second shot. 
Absolute silence in manipulation. 
K The length is not added to unduly by a 
I long bolt, thereby making a more com- 
K pact and handier weapon.

THE ORIGINAL WIDE 
GARTER 
A garter that fits the leg 
without binding is as in- 
dispensable to health and 
comfort as a shoe that 
fits the foot without 
cramping. 
The soft wide webbing yields to every 
movement, and allows veins and muscles 
free play. It holds snugly because the 
shaped webbing really fits the calf. Fine 
for sportsmen.
