Why is the 77 Zarfi/i Repeating Shotgun, Model No. 
17, the best low-priced repeating shotgun in the world ? 
By making this gun with a solid frame 
and a straight grip stock a number of parts 
have been eliminated. The result is a 
stronger, simpler, cleaner gun than any 
other repeating model and a very much 
less costly one. 
The exclusively 77 Zar//n solid top and 
side ejection are features of Model 17 and 
to these famous ? ar//si ideas are added 
the new double extractor and a two-piece 
safety recoil block—devices which repeat¬ 
ing shotgun users will welcome. 
The //ZarCin breech block and working 
parts are cut from solid drop forgings. 
The barrel of special rolled steel is bored 
for both smokeless powder and black. 
The guaranteed ZTZar&n pattern of 325 
pellets with oz. No. 8 shot in a 30 in. 
circle at 40 yards is maintained in Model 17. 
When the ducks come rushing in among 
the decoys or the grouse roar off through 
the dead leaves you cannot be armed with 
a better, quicker, harder-hitting gun than 
the Z/Zar/c/i Model 17. 
It is a first-class quail gun. For wood¬ 
cock, snipe, prairie chickens, sharp tail 
grouse or any other bird shooting it is un¬ 
surpassed. 
Its records at the traps are wonderful. 
There arc many other valuable 77Zar///i ideas included in every 
f/uzr/171 gun. Send six cents in stamps for our handsoine catalogs 
•which explains all and contains 7 nuch other valuable information.

“What did papa say?” “He showed me the door.” 
“And what did you say?” “I said it was a handsome 
door, but not what I had come to talk about. That made 
him laugh, and a minute later you were mine.” — N. Y.
