Cool old add, thanks. My hunting buddy had one in .223. It had a Weaver scope in a tip over mount. His was the round forend one like the guy is holding in the picture. His grandson has it now.
That's pretty neat -- 50 years ago in 1966. But Remington had already been making those slick fast-firing center-fire pumps for over 50 years then. Anybody have a 1916 ad for a Remington model 14? Here's what they should look like.

And here's my early 50's 760, with it's Weaver K2.5 scope of about the same vintage. 300 Savage -- now hows that for cool factor?

Sounds like the "Demise of the Levergun"--ol' Frank was probably outgunned because he was shooting a underpowered 30-30 Winchester lever action. Too bad---
I'd bet there are still far more lever guns in use today than there are centerfire pump actions.

Yeah, poor old Frank; packing some old obsolete Winny thutty thutty.
But I'm quite fond of both styles and glad we can readily get such fine ones today. Although you have to have a good wad of green to get one of the "low-powered 38-40's" mentioned in the old ad.
And much thanks cshold! That is the ad I was thinking of.
