light, quick-expanding bullets-would have
m, any uses. ~ven tracers can be obtained.
TI he police rifle should be light, with a short
ba irrel, not over 22 inches. It must be more
ru gged than a hunting gun and above all, it
m ust be accurate.
OST of the so-called "rifles for police use"
A are as out of date as the Model-T Ford.
'inchester made the semi-automatic Model
' in both the .401 and .351 calibers using
wy, low velocity bullets. The M07 was
iavy, both in weight and price. The fast
op of their projectiles definitely put them
the short range class. The .401 has been
scontinued for years and the 351 has now
;en dropped. Many police departments
hich have rifles are using this model 07.
[her very popular police rifles have been
e light Winchester and Marlin lever acins.
While these rifles were not made for
dice work but for the hunter, officers have
und them to meet some of their requireents.
In no instance could this family of
ver action rifles be classed as sniper rifles
r police, with the exception of Winchesr's
new Model 88, in .308 caliber.
Remington has produced two rifles that
we the rapid fire quality that at one time
is looked for in a police rifle. These are
e Remington Model 760 Pump and the
mi-automatic Model 740, both chambered
r the 30-06, the .270, Remington's newest
30, and the .244. These two guns are both
great improvement over any rifle previously
oduced for the rapid fire police requireents.
iampions RUDY ETCHEN and
31. CHAS. ASKINS agree this shotgun is best.
WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL!
xcially built for long-range pass shooting, this
eat goose gun will give you clean kills at
rice the effective range of other guns' Action
ill not shoot loose~is built to stay snug forever!
Too much emphasis has always been
placed on the rapid fire, how fast an officer
could pull the trigger, in selecting a rifle for
police work. Rifle makers copied after the
military weapons, but the problem is not fire
power, as it is for military use.
In a police action, you do not want to lay
down a barrage, when one well-aimed shot
will do the job. There is a similarity between
shooting a deer or a man, except the
deer can't shoot back. Miss a deer and you
can tell about the big buck that got away.
Miss a criminal and others may tell what a
good officer you were.
Creating the ideal police rifle is a job for
your gunsmith. Select a good bolt action in
.30-06 caliber. Cut off the barrel to 20 or 22
inches. The stock should have a high comb
for telescopic sight use, but be as light as
possible and no longer than is absolutely necessary
to fit the shooter or shooters. Stock
finish should be as good or better than that
of a hunting gun. Leave off the checkering
or fancy work.
UY a good scope, not a price job. This
B scope must have a post reticle. The
mount must be one that will permit rough
handling of the gun without the sight being
knocked out of zero. Buy the best in mounts.
Your gunsmith can recommend several but
tell him you want a sturdy type.
There is a bullet for every use for the .30-
06. Ammunition for the 3-06 comes in bullet
weights of 110, 150, 180, and 220 grains,
hunting types. From G.I. ammo you can obtain
metal piercing, full patch, tracers, and
