MY FAVORITE GUN
By HERB KLEIN
Explorer, hunter
and lecturer
"Old Death and Destruction," that's what Myles Turner, my African
white hunter, dubbed my favorite .300 Weatherby Magnum. Everything
I shot at over there just naturally fell down, dead as last night's stale beer,
and I came home with 60 wonderful trophies and a fantastic 90 percent
one-shot kill record. From dik-dik no larger than jackrabbits to lions and
cape buffalo in Africa; from peacocks to tigers and gaur in India; and
from snowy owls to Kodiak bears on our continent; that blonde bomber
has probably killed a larger variety of game than any other single gun
in the world. The tremendous variety of bullets and bullet weights avail-
able make it adaptable for any game anywhere.

Working on the Edward R.
Murrow show, Dennis James' "On
Your Account" show, the Roy
Rogers show and the Perry Mason
show, among others which I an-
nounce, keeps me pretty busy.
Fortunately on weekends I can
take off. and enjoy hunting and
target practice on my farm in
Connecticut. My favorite gun is
a "shooter." but one made back
at the time of the Civil War. It is
the Navy Colt and I consider it
one of the most beautiful hand-
guns ever made. Its design is
pleasing to the eye and by virtue
of its weight distribution and con-
struction it fits my hand perfectly,
offering me at the same time a
smooth and balanced performance.
I own pump and target .22 rifles,
Marlin and Winchester level guns,
but the Navy Colt is my favorite.
