No sportsman Bhould oe without one. It will piove invaluable to Iti possessor whether bhooting for plcasiue or profit ; the cost of the ammnnition being so very low that its frequent use entails but slight expense. Its wonderful accuracy and penetration are unsurpassed at its range by any rifle manufactured. Wo are the sole Proprietors in Australasia of this truly spleadid weapon and in order to introduce it we have fixed tha price at the extremely low fisure of 26s each, carnage paid to any address in Australia, Tasmania, or New Zpaland, and gaarantss to allow aiilir trial with eaoh lifleand to refund the pnrclmse money to anyone not entirely satisfied with it. The ammunition used in the "Maino" Blfle is the long or short 22 calibre rim fire (con cat bnllet) cartridse of any maker and the eartridsr.es can be piuchased f romall «torekeepers throughout thoOolonies. at from Is. Gd. per 100, or less than .one farthing per shot. The following are some of the upecial features and qualifications cf this magnificent weapon : — The " Maine" Kins is beautifully made and finished, each partbeing a model of neatness and Rood workmanship. The action is ingenious bat extremely simple and willnot get ont of order. All parts are interchangeable and guaranteed' accurate. The barrel is octagonal, durably blued and polished. The stock is beat walnut highly polished and finished. The length o! the weapon is 86 inches from muzzle to heel-plate, and the weight about slb 3. The rifling of the bore is on tha latast scientific system inburing the greatest accuracy of fire and penetration of tire conical bullet. The breech mechanism is simply benutiiul. The breecli-blook when thrown open automatically operates the ejector and the eaitridses never jam. The cartridge is exploded by the action of the hammer upon a Bolid striker which puses through the centis of breechblock and a miss-fire is almost an impassibility. The act of firing locks the breech, sinking itnerfectiy gas-tight. The strength and careful make of the weapon js such that there is nearly a total absence of recoil.' The perfect model on which it is constructed gives exact balance to the rifle. Tako notice that either the short or long 23 calibre lira file cartridge of any make can be used and that with tha lone cartridge a killiutr range up to 800 yards is obtained. The Hmxll report of ths exploded cartridge makes the. "Maine" Bifle much to be desired where gamo is " wild " from frequent shooting amongst it. Patents on the speciaViznprovements embodied in the "Maine" Elfle have been secured all over the woild. The "pnll off" of the trigger is regulated for sharp shooting. Each rifle is packed In a strong case in which is also packed cleaning rod, oil and oil can, screw driver and tin of specially prepared vasell^s for groove lubrication.
