.32 atfi .35 CALIBER SELF-LOADING RIFLES The Winchester Model 1905 Self-Loading Rifle is not cumbersome, complicated and tansio-htly like most other self-loading firearms, but a simple, handsome, well-balanced gun. The°Winchester self-loading system permits rapid shooting with great accuracy and on account of the novelty and ease of its operation adds much to the pleasure of rifle shooting either at target or game. For certain kinds of hunting where the quarry is generally shot on the run the Winchester Self-Loading Rifle is particularly well adapted. The .32 and .35 caliber cartridges that the Model 1905 handles are of the modern smokeless powder type and give excellent" penetration and great shocking effect on animal tissue. iw_ FREE : Send name and address for large illustrated catalogue describing all our gum.
