Synopsis
Providing a detailed analysis of rifle sport, including deer stalking in Britain and the wider variety of game in Europe, this guide includes advice for the novice on acquiring a licence, buying and owning a rifle, and how and where to shoot. An introductory chapter places the sporting rifle in its historical context, describing its evolution from a scaled-down cannon to the modern precision weapon. The book then discusses the range of calibres, bullets and sights available, and their suitability for different game and different circumstances.
