From the Publisher
A new Safari Press reprint of JOC's classic. From the white-tailed deer and the mountain sheep to the lion and the rhino, Jack O'Connor covers every existing species of big game and every available rifle used in its quest: factory rifles and custom-built rifles; rifles for forest game and for mountain game; rifles for soft-skinned and thick-skinned animals; cartridges in every known category; every kind of big-game ammunition, sight, sling, and scabbard. All are lucidly described and clearly illustrated in this informative book. In addition there are unforgettable anecdotes of action wherever big game is found-and a gallery of illustrations that makes this the definitive book in its field.
