Those Winchester ads are sweet.. I had to put a couple 30-06 bandoliers on and run around the house in honor of the 1st one.
Well, that second one down settles the "What caliber for bear?" question ....

Yuk!Having trouble understanding this gun ad, But I think its warning about the dangers of picking up and mishandling loaded guns and such.

I can not believe Ithaca did that last ad. It is near unreal that they embraced that movie and somewhat went in partnership with it.
Its a famous scene from a 1988 sci-fi movie "They live" Gosh I love the eye glasses offer.. (Special eye glasses are Important in the movie)..

Really, you didn't want one.Really? You traded the top of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Harvester_Scout#/media/File:IHC-Scout-1.jpg for it?
That's kinda amazing! Back in the '70s, I sure wanted a "Scout" for deer hunting. I never did buy one though, and now I can't even remember why I didn't.
Dad had a couple. He proved the adage that you can get stuck in any vehicle, but a FWD will allow you to get stuck in the worse places. My brother and I spent more time digging his Scouts out than we did hunting.
True, that, but the key is having sufficient extraction gear for those times. Buried a deuce and a half (6X6) up to the frame once, but jerking it out with an M75 APC was a cake walk.
Only other time I've been buried to the frame was in my Chevy PU.....three times, same morning while trying to recover a downed Nilgai which very inconsiderately expired about 400 yards off the hard surface just as a thunderstorm began distributing copious amounts of rainfall, adding to the accumulations from monsoon weather of the past month.
Got in uneventfully, drug the Nilgai to the edge of brush just as the deluge started; left the cow there and headed for high ground, only to get stuck three times on the way out, requiring deployment of the winch each time.

Winches trump 4WD on a bad day.
As for ads, how many remember Klein's every month in American Rifleman circa 1961?

Yep, I too had proved that adage a couple of times by the end of 1976. That was the year I got my first FWD - a brand new GMC.He proved the adage that you can get stuck in any vehicle, but a FWD will allow you to get stuck in the worse places.

& one of the cooler ways to advertise guns.. Little plastic model rifles for the kids. These were handed out as salesmans samples in some stores..
