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.

About the Author

Elmer Keith (1899-1984) was a rancher, hunting guide, and firearms author who spent his whole life among the big game of the Western states and the Rocky Mountains. He played a key role in the development the .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, and .44 Magnum cartridges and also developed his own style of semi-wadcutter bullet for handguns that became widely popular for both hunting and target shooting. Through his books and articles, Elmer Keith influenced and informed a generation of hunters and handgunners—he truly was one of the major figures in the firearms developments of the 20th century.
