Charles Cottar^ s Faith 
in the 
.250-3000 Savage 
Y ou know what the go- 
rilla is — the huge, silent 
uncanny man-monkey who 
glides through the dark, 
tangled African jungle as 
swiftly and easily as a 
shadow. You know that gun barrels have 
been bent by his black, hairy, wire-sinewed 
fingers — have been crushed by his ghastly, 
protruding fangs. You know his super- 
natural vitality, his fiendish intelligence and 
his horrible vindictiveness when attacked. 
Even the lion fears him. He’s the most 
unnerving problem a hunter can face. 
Why was it that when Charles Cottar, the experienced 
American big-game hunter, tracked the gorilla through 
the dense, tropical East African bush, the ri6ehe deliber- 
ately selected from his arsenal for this nerve-straining, 
hair-raising, desperate work, was his .250-3000 Savage ? 
Think it over. And remember that this same 6-sbot re- 
peater weighs only 7 pounds — that it has a point-blank 
range of over 300 yards — that it is accurate enough to 
make '*pos6ible8^at 800 yardsand that it hardly kicks at all. 
See it at your dealers; get the "feel” of it in your own 
hands or write us for particulars.

Then, there were those good sportsmen 
who almost landed a prize. To them we 
wish to say “Tough luck!” and express 
our admiration for the fine efforts they 
made, knowing at the same time that these 
contributors will view their good though 
losing fight with the same philosophy that 
comes to their comfort when a “big one” 
gets away. 
And to all of the 2,894 contributors goes 
our deep appreciation of their inspiring, 
wholesome angling spirit. Oh! it’s a great 
game!
