Are the single-shots here to

single-shots, and aside from a ''

muzzle-loaders, the single-shots 1

magazine. 1
The first 10 to 15 years after
he Civil War brought about ac
elerated development of breech
oading cartridges and the re
lating rifle. Yet it was during
his time that the single-shot
rained fame as a precision tar
ret rifle. It was in 1874 that
he first U. S. rifle team in his
ory outshot the Irish team?
then heralded as the greatest in
all of the European continent
and the British Isles.
In order to avoid any confu
sion, let's get clear on just what
is a single-shot. Most single-shot
enthusiasts use the term for the
old under-Iever and side-lever
guns and do not think of the
single-shot bolt-action as one of
the single-shots. Just ask the

matches. The competitors cling
to such fine, historic single-shot
rifles as the Sharps, Remingtons
(rolling-block and Hepburn ac
tions), Winchesters (high-side
walls and low-sidewalls), Bal
lards and Stevenses and some
foreign-made actions such as the
Farquharson and Martini.
Some of the old-timers were
strong enough to take a lot of
the modern cartridges, and one
of these was the English Far
quharson. The original may have
been made in Belgium, but the
English gun manufacturer used
it around which to build up some
of its finest products. There
were at least seven different
appearing Farquharsons, but
they were all of the same basic
design ? a falling block ? and
But right now the question
persists: Is the single-shot here
to stay? This is 1966: the age
of the fast car, the fast plane,
the fast buck and the mow-'em
down-with-firepower philosophy.
W.here does a single-shot lit in?
There is indeed a place for it!
And it is here to stay.
Why? In the first place, the
single-shot rifle stands as a sym
bol. To the discriminating shoot

SONG AND DANCE
Slip, slide and duck. Sounds
like a hit on today's popcharts.
Or maybe a new dance.
Actually, It may turn out to
be both, if Democratic congres
sional candidates take the ad
vice of the secretary of Agri
culture. You'll hear the tune
sung in strained strains during
speeches and get to see what
it looks like in dance form at
thepodlum.
The Idea for this new song
and dance was advanced by Se
; cretary Freeman recently dur
ing the coming elections. A
newspaperman accidentally got
into the meeting room, anathen
it wasn't confidential anymore.
A candidate from Ohio told
Freeman that Inflation was a
major issue in his district,
and wanted to know how to han

chanisms and above all the ca
pacity for precision shooting. If
a single-shot comes up to these
ideals not only will it be in
demand by target shooters, but
there will be many hunters who
use it as well. To them it be
comes a symbol of the clean
one-shot kill in which more and
more hunters are taking pride.
