with the scores of the VVykagyl shooters for the closing

Repeating Shotguns 
usea by over 4 5 u,uuu i>portsmen. 
Endorsed by the U. S. Ordnance Board. 
|VER four hundred and fifty 
thousand sportsmen use and 
endorse Winchester Repeating 
Shotguns. The U. S. Ordnance 
jBoard, after subjecting one of these 
guns to the severest of tests for 
strength, reliability, accuracy, pene¬ 
tration, endurance, excessive loads, 
defective shells, rust and dust, re¬ 
ported officially that: “ The result of 
the severe tests to which the gun 
was subjected showed that every 
part was strong and serviceable. 
The Board finds that the gun pos¬ 
sesses the advantages claimed by the 
manufacturers.’’’’ 
“ The sliding forearm movement insures the ease of 
manipulation from the shoulder, and the gun can be loaded, 
unloaded, or fired with safety and sufficient rapidity. It is 
accurate^ gives good penetration, especially with the cart¬ 
ridge containing heavier buckshot, and has little recoil. 
The working parts are few in number, and are simple, 
strong, and well made; and the board is of the opinion 
that the arm is especially well adapted to the purpose for 
which it is intended. The Board has, therefore, no sugges¬ 
tions nor recommendations to suggest in the way of improv¬ 
ing the gun for the use of sentinels in the military service.” 
When the Experts Comprising the U- S. Ordnance Board cannot suggest any 
improvement in a gun, it means that it is as near perfect as a gun can be made. 
THE REPEATER THAT OUTSHOOTS ALL OTHERS. 
Charles G. Spencer outshot the world in 1908, mak¬ 
ing the unprecedented record of 96.77% for 11,175 
targets. He used a $27.00 grade Winchester Re¬ 
peating Shotgun—the kind any sportsman can buy TT 0/ 
anywhere. You don’t need a “special” gun to shoot # /o 
well, if you shoot a Winchester. Remember this For 11,175
