About this title

Synopsis

The classic reference work on large-calibre rifles, both bolt action and double-barrelled guns, the cartridges they shoot, and their effect on the game.

From the Publisher

John Taylor was a professional ivory hunter with some thirty years of continuous living in the African bush. He used all the various calibers of British, American, and German makers and rifles, and with them killed many species of big game found on the continent of Africa. Acknowledged to be one of the finest reference works on the large-caliber rifle (both double and bolt action), this new, high-quality reprint features the original photos (from first edition) on coated paper so that the images can be clearly seen by the reader. A must for anybody interested in rifles.
