Y OU know brant—shy wanderers of the lonely 
coasts. There is no wild fowl so bashful 
about coming to decoys—none so hard to 
lure within range. 
Fifty yards is close range for brant. And to kill 
a bird as big and befeathered as one of these coast 
vagrants at that distance your gun must shoot 
harder than the average. 
Lefever guns shoot a whole lot harder than the 
average. That is why the man who swings his 
Lefever <m the grey breasts of a rearing pair of 
brants does not question what the result will be. 
He knows it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason Lefever guns kill clean and sure 
and far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
Pioneers in every sound improvement for 
almost half a century. Eighteen exclusive Lefever 
features, including never-shoot-loose bolt, strong 
three-piece action, and take-up-wear screw on the 
1 inge joint, enable the same guns to keep on 
killing clean and far and true for a lifetime.

of London. It was won last year by Great Britain, with

‘Some weeks ago I purchased one of your guns 
second hand, which is one of the finest specimens 
of the gunmaker’s art I have ever seen. It is in splen¬ 
did condition. I have critically compared this gun with 
W. R.’s, J. L. & S.’s and W. & C. S. guns selling at 
400 dollars and upwards, and the balance is in favor of the 
Greener as regards material, workmanship and balance. I 
have owned one Greener before this, have owned and used many 
guns of English and American make, and consider yours far superior 
to any other.”— J. H. H. B., Lynn, Mass., U. S. A. 11-7-06.
