Awesome advertisement.
You can all but step into this 1966 Deer camp picture and feel right at home.

Cool old add, thanks. My hunting buddy had one in .223. It had a Weaver scope in a tip over mount. His was the round forend one like the guy is holding in the picture. His grandson has it now.

That's pretty neat -- 50 years ago in 1966. But Remington had already been making those slick fast-firing center-fire pumps for over 50 years then. Anybody have a 1916 ad for a Remington model 14? Here's what they should look like.

And here's my early 50's 760, with it's Weaver K2.5 scope of about the same vintage. 300 Savage -- now hows that for cool factor?

those are all nice pumps....the old ones are really appealing !

I have an old standard arms in 35 Remington with tang sight and the funky brass handguard and brass buttplate. need to post a picture of it.

Sounds like the "Demise of the Levergun"--ol' Frank was probably outgunned because he was shooting a underpowered 30-30 Winchester lever action. Too bad---

I'd bet there are still far more lever guns in use today than there are centerfire pump actions.

Yeah, poor old Frank; packing some old obsolete Winny thutty thutty.

But I'm quite fond of both styles and glad we can readily get such fine ones today. Although you have to have a good wad of green to get one of the "low-powered 38-40's" mentioned in the old ad.

And much thanks cshold! That is the ad I was thinking of.
