Looks more like a shotgun.

This photo appeared in Hardware World for April, 1916, in an article about Ada Schilling with the title "Lack of Physical Strength No Obstacle to Feminine Achievement". According to the article, she was 4'11" and weighed 95 pounds. She had been trap shooting for 3 years and had many trophies, including "lady championship of California and the Pacific Coast." books.google.com/books?id=pC86AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA96&lp... In this 1917 newspaper article, she encouraged other women to take up the sport, and is also identified as being from Portland, Oregon: news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19170623&... This 1919 article says she had relocated to Portland from San Jose, California and was married to another professional shooter, Carl Schilling. oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1918-11-03/ed-1/se... In 1911, Carl and Ada had a sharpshooting theatrical act that involved such feats as lighting a match with one shot and putting it out with the next. www.library.illinois.edu/dnc/Default/Skins/APE/Client.asp... The San Francisco Call ran a profusely illustrated article about the Schillings and their shooting prowess, including a photo of the diminutive Ada shooting while being held across her husband's arms: cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SFC19090711.2.165.7#

Actually a shotgun.

Yeh- shotgun. The trap targets are a dead give away.

Mrs. Ada Schilling with a Remington Model 10 shotgun!!! NOT A RIFLE!!!! Although with her abilities she could probably hit trap targets with both a rifle or a shotgun.

"The view of the west side of Front street, looking south from Pine, in 1852, is of particular interest because it shows some of the well-known pioneer citizens of Portland, besides giving a very good idea of the business district in those days. The men in the picture, reading from left to right, are: C.P. Bacon, Adolph Miller, Thomas J. Dryer (editor of The Oregonian at that time), W.H. Barnhart (in the doorway), H.W. Corbett, John M. Breck and W.S. Ogden. The dray was the first in Portland and, therefore, an object of considerable interest in those days. It was purchased in San Francisco by Mr. Barnhart for $400 and sold to Mr. Miller. The first building in the foreground is the general store of Breck & Ogden. Just beyond it is the general store of W.H. Barnhart & Co., part of which was occupied by the first Wells-Fargo Express office. The large building beyond was the store of H.W. Corbett. A vessel may be seen in the harbor at the end of the street." "Historic Pictures Mark Progress of Pioneer Portland," Morning Oregonian, Feb. 4, 1911, p. 6
