MODEL 1907 SELF-LOADING RIFLE 
.351 CALIBER HIGH POWER. 
Before deciding upon a rifle for your next hunting trip, don’t 
fail to investigate the merits of this new Winchester which 
is reloaded by the recoil of the exploded cartridge. 
There 
is nothing complicated, cumbersome or freakish about it. 
It is a reliable, handy gun from butt to muzzle. 
The .351 
Caliber High Power cartridge which it shoots represents 
the latest development in powder and cartridge manufac- 
ture. 
Although small in size, it develops tremendous vel- 
ocity and energy, making it powerful enough for the largest 
game. 
This most modern type of cartridge also possess 
the added advantage of economy... Owing to the compara- 
tively small amount of metal used in the shell it costs 
much less than old style cartridges no more powerful. 
Circular describing this rifle, “The Gun That Shoots Through Steel,’ sent upon request.
