First published in 1936, this is a handbook on riles and guns used for hunting, with chapters on the different guns commonly used, correct technique, other related equipment, and much more. Profusely illustrated and full of handy tips, 'Big Game Rifles and Cartridges' will be of considerable utility to modern hunters, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: 'One. Brush and Timber Rifles', 'Two. Long Range Stalking Rifles', 'Three. All Around Rifles', 'Four. Double Barrelled Rifles', 'Five. Iron Sights for Hunting', 'Six. Hunting Scopes and Mounts', 'Seven. Hunting Rifle Stocks', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with the original text and images.
