Layne Simpson, who has been field editor for Shooting
Times magazine for 20 years, draws from his hunting experiences on five
continents to tell you what rifles, cartridges, bullets, loads, and scopes
are best for various applications, and he explains why in plain English.
Developer of the popular 7mm STW cartridge, Simpson has taken big game with
rifle cartridges ranging in power from the .220 Swift to the .460 Weatherby
Magnum, and he pulls no punches when describing their effectiveness in the
field. A sample of the thirty chapters includes: "The Woods Rifle," "The
Mountain Rifle," "Medicine For Dangerous Game," "The Custom Rifle," "The
Beanfield Rifle," "The Saddle Rifle," "All About Rifle Barrels," "The
Bolt-Action Rifle," "Hunting With Modern Single Shots," "The Lever-Action
Rifle," "Pumps and Autoloaders," "Choosing An Optical Sight," "All About
Scope Mounts," "The Trigger," "Notes On Open Sights," "The .22 Calibers On
Deer," ".243 Through .458 Caliber Cartridges," "Wildcat Cartridges," "The
Big-Game Bullet," "Handloading For Big Game," "Hunting With Factory Ammo,"
"Selecting The Big-Game Rifle Battery," and "When Old Rifles Go Afield." If
you are interested in the equipment needed to successfully hunt white-tailed
deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, mule deer, caribou, black bear, moose, Alaska
brown bear, Cape buffalo, African lion, or any other big-game animal, this
book is a must. Rifles and Cartridges for Large Game is illustrated with 100
color photos and is an oversize book. |
