No matter what you hunt there is a Winchester made suitable for your purpose. Whichever model you select, you will fittd that it will stand the rough, hard usage that hunting rifles often receive. Winchester rifles are mechanically correct in design, are made of selected and tested materials under skillful supervision. Every rifle is thoroughly tested in every way before it leaves the works. Nothing is omitted in their manufacture that will make Winchester rifles shoot well, wear well and look well.
