Single Shot M97D Rifle

Superbly Accurate, Small Frame Falling Block...
Easy to Carry, Mild Recoil, Points Naturally

By Eben Brown 
 2004 was another successful year for our Model 97D Rifle. Many heads of big game were taken with single well placed shots. Prairie dogs and varmints too numerous to count were exter- minated with satisfying marksmanship. And paper punchers shot bunches of tight groups in fun practice for the hunting fields… 
  Come to think of it, the word “FUN” just about sums up the whole appeal of the Model 97D. The accuracy, mild recoil, and natural feel combine to make a rifle that’s easy to succeed with… and let’s face it: Shooting well is fun!
