MR. WINANS’ RIFLES 
W ALTER WINANS, the world re¬ 
nowned rifleman, has given some in¬ 
teresting information about his 
weapons in a letter to Arthur Bonsall, 
editor of the “Shooting Times.” Regard¬ 
ing his preference in rifles and in answer 
to a question, Mr. Winans says: 
“The rifle I used when making my ‘Clean 
Score at Deer’ was one of a pair made for 
me according to my specification of what 
a big game rifle should be. Since then 
many have been made on this model, and, 
I believe, His Majesty the King of England 
used a similar pair on his India shooting 
trip. My idea was that a rifle for big game 
should be as near as possible like a 12-bore 
shot-gun, in balance, weight, handiness, and 
bend of stock, to suit the shooter. Most 
people look on rifle shooting as distinct 
from shot-gun shooting: even first-class 
men with the shot-gun often begin to poke 
and dwell on their aim as soon as they take 
up a rifle. I use a rifle and a gun exactly 
alike; at running shots I fire snap shots 
with the rifle. In fact, I never could “hold 
on” with a rifle. I have to loose on the 
moment the sights come in line, and in 
running shots I squeeze the trigger as I 
raise the rifle, and it goes off. as the stock 
touches my shoulder. With this way of 
shooting I found any regulation rifle I tried 
clumsy, and I could not swing quickly with 
them. My pair of rifles, therefore, for soft- 
skinned big game shooting balance just like 
a shot-gun, though they are a little heavier, 
about like a pigeon gun. Double barrels, of 
course. I never can shoot as well with a 
single as with a double: the double lies so 
much better in the left hand, a single one is 
apt to cant to the side. The cartridge is 
made especially for this rifle, the idea being 
to have a hard hitting, short range cart¬ 
ridge. A man asked me what was the 
longest range I shoot a rifle at game. I 
answered.—‘I get as close as I possibly can.’ 
My rifles were made for shooting at from 
20 to 8o yards running shots, and standing 
shots up to 200 as a maximum. A long 
range high velocity cartridge means not 
only a heavy rifle with a lot of recoil, but 
a dangerous rifle, as one never knows where 
a bullet shooting up to 2,000 yards will go 
and kill somebody. I shoot wild boar, 
bears, etc., at from 5 to 50 yards, and deer 
when running in dense woods are seldom 
over 100 yards and oftener at 40 yards. 
The cartridge is, therefore, .400 straight 
shell (to diminish recoil), 3 inches long, 
solid metal, 45 grains cordite, 230 grains 
bullet, lead bullet, metal base, copper tube: 
white ivory bead front sight, big open V 
hind sight. To show how hard it hits, I 
give below proportion of animals hit to 
those killed:—Wild boar, 150 killed, three 
wounded and lost; moufflon (the toughest 
animals of any I have shot), 25 killed, one 
(hit in hock) lost; bears, 10, all killed (one 
found dead next day) ; buffalo, 2 killed; 
wapeti and altai, 83; elk, 1 (all killed); 
red deer, 46 killed, one lost, broken foreleg; 
fallow deer, 47 killed, 2 lost with a broken 
foreleg; two foxes, six hares, one squirrel 
killed, all running shots. I killed, with 
one shot each, two menagerie lions, which 
had to be destroyed, one hyena. All shoot¬ 
ing done standing up like shooting a shot¬ 
gun; most of the shots snap shots at run¬ 
ning animals.”
