My favorite is the Model 1892 lever rifle, and it was with great re- gret that I learned of the dis- continuance of this once so popular model. In fifty years of experience as a cowboy, profes- sional hunter, and trapper, I have worn out many rifles, but as long as one of the old Mod- el 1892 remains, or parts are obtainable for them, I'll be us- ing one. In the old .25-20 cal- iber, with the orginal 24" bar- rel cut off four inches, this is the most accurate, sweet-shoot- ing rifle I have ever handled. It is still being used on my daily trap line in New Mexico. I could write reams and reams about this old gun, but reckon most of it would be laughed at by the moderns. Nevertheless, the old '92 is still my favorite. FAVORITE VERSATILITY , QUICKLY DETACiiuu.

Our cover cowboy's rifle is not that first week. Often noted speechmakers much like the traditional .30-30; rattle on for hours about the "Founding but the .30-30 is still popular, Fathers" and the "destinyw of the country. as is the old-new Single Action.
