"WINCHESTER 
Model 1907 Self-loading Rifle .351 Caliber, High Power 
“ The Gun That Shoots Through Steel ” 
Standard rifle, 20-inch round nickel-steel barrel, pistol 
grip stock of plain walnut, not checked, weight about 7J4 
pounds, number of shots, 6. LIST price, $28.00 
A HANDY, HANDSOME, POWERFUL GUN: The Model 1907, .351 
Caliber High Power is a six-shot take-down, handsome and symmetrical in out¬ 
line and simple and strong in construction. It is a serviceable, handy gun from 
butt to muzzle. There are no moving projections on the outside of the gun to 
catch in the clothing or tear the hands, and no' screws or pins to shake loose. 
It is easily loaded and unloaded, easily shot with great rapidity and easily taken 
down and cleaned. 
THE .351-CALIBER HIGH POWER CARTRIDGE represents the latest 
development in powder and cartridge manufacture. Although small in size, it 
develops tremendous velocity and energy, making it powerful enough for the 
largest game. The soft-point bullet mushrooms splendidly on animal tissue, tear¬ 
ing a wide killing path. The regular cartridge will shoot a metal patched bullet 
through a }/i-inch steel plate. This most modern type of cartridge also possesses 
the added advantage of economy. Owing to the comparatively small amount 
of metal used in the shell, it .costs much less than old style cartridges no more 
powerful. 
THE WINCHESTER SELF-LOADING SYSTEM is positive, safe, 
strong, and simple. There is nothing experimental about it. Tested by use and 
abuse for two years, it has proved its absolute reliability and practicability. In 
these qualities there is no other self-loading system that approaches it. We 
were the pioneer manufacturers of Self-loading rifles. 
A SIMPLER AND MORE HANDY TAKE-DOWN device than that used 
in the Winchester Model 1907 is next to impossible. A few turns on the take¬ 
down screw, found at the rear of the receiver, and the rifle is separated into two 
parts, the stock and action being in one and the barrel and receiver in the other. 
When taken down, the exposed working parts are all accessible, making it easy 
to clean the action. 
RAPIDITY OF FIRE: This rifle has a detachable magazine, which can 
be inserted in the gun when the bolt is closed, making loading quick, safe and 
easy. The superiority of this style of magazine for this type of rifle was demon¬ 
strated at the recent National Matches at Sea Girt, when the Winchester Self¬ 
loading system won all the competitive prizes for rapid-fire shooting; the record 
being fifty shots in one minute against twenty fired from the other self-loading 
rifle having a fixed magazine. Still another advantage of the detachable maga¬ 
zine is that it makes it unnecessary to work the cartridges through the gun in 
uploading. 
COMPARISON IS CONVINCING: We know of no better way for a 
prospective purchaser to become convinced of the superiority of the Winchester 
Model 1907 .35T-Caliber High Power Rifle than by comparing it with other makes 
of similar guns. Look at them, handle them, price them, load them, take them 
down, shoot them, test their penetration, killing power and range if you will. In 
fact, compare them in any way you see fit.

t\ E are indebted to Mr. J. Mowed Hawkins for the 
subjoined summary of the Winchester team’s shooting, 
made while on its famous southern tour. Mr. Hawkins 
writes us that “These scores were all made at the points 
given, and were the advertised exhibitions of the team. 
No practice scores are entered in any way, as the team 
had no practice whatever, merely shooting the 100 
scheduled at each point.”

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Dec. 22.—To-day was the last prac¬ 
tice shoot of the Ossining Gun Club before the presi¬ 
dent’s* shoot on New Year’s Day. There will be no 
practice shooting allowed during the afternoon of Jan. 
1. If the members turn out to all the shoots, of the gun 
club, as the return postals indicate that they will at this 
date, the management of the club would be happy. 
There will be four events at 25 targets each, divided into 
classes A and B, so that all will have a chance for the 
prizes. The prizes, many and handsome, are to- be 
given by the president of the club, Col. Franklin 
Brandreth, according to his annual custom. The trap 
is again in fine shape.
