The Marlin Magazine Rifle. 
We are often asked to recommend a really 
reliable, light-weight, medium cost repeating 
rifle. Everybody recognizes their superiority 
over the ordinary gun, inasmuch as if the first 
shot falls to kill, the magazine gun can be in¬ 
stantly loaded for u second shot, and then the 
magazine gun can bo put away, ready eburg- 
| ed, and take no harm for an indefinite time, 
I while the ordinary gun is rained in a short time 
i for anything but target 
' shooting, After careful in- 
I vestigallon we cau fully 
recommend the Marlin 
Magazine Rifle us a safe, 
reliable, finely finished and 
very active and effective 
shooter, while the 24-incb 
gun, carrying 8 shots, only 
weighs pounds. This 
is by no rneaus an inferior 
gun, but is made with all 
the care and accuracy of 
the celebrated Ballard tar¬ 
get rifle made b> the same 
firm, and which has gained 
such a wide fame, aud the 
Marlin cun be relied on to 
do as accurate shooting as 
the other. The Marlin is 
made 32 and 88 calibre, and 
24 and 28 inch barrel. The 
82 calibre carries 40 grains 
of powder, and the 88, 55 
grains, aud either will pene¬ 
trate 11 inches of pine tim¬ 
ber, which is nearly twice 
the penetration of any 
other make of gun. A great 
objection to magazine rifles 
has been the fact that a 
slight variation in the 
length of nny cartridge in 
the magazine would clog 
the machinery and the ai m 
wculd refuse to work, often 
when most needed. By a 
recent invention this trou 
ble h entirely obviated in 
the Marlin, and the vari 
ation of a half inch or more 
makes no differe* ce in the 
working of the gun. Who 
ever secures one of these 
i guns will be proud of it. 
i They are made by the Marlin Fire Arms 
I Company, New Haven. Conn. Price of 24 
inch rifle, $22 00 We will give one of this 
size to the person sending us 22subscribers.
