Synopsis:
Before purchasing a modern sporting rifle there are many things to consider. This updated and expanded edition of Bolt Action Rifles contains the information readers need to speak intelligently to gunsmiths, and understand their suggestions and objections. Contains years of thoroughly researched information, such as technical descriptions, instructions for takedown/disassembly, hints for reworking, and dimensional specifications of every major design manufactured since the Mauser of 1871.
This massive reference also contains a remarkable amount of historical and general information clearly written, not without an occasional touch of humor, and detailed assembly drawings of featured rifles with individual reviews of the action, safety, and firing mechanism. Suitable not only for the professional and amateur gunsmith, but also for any hunter or collector who wishes to gain a more thorough understanding of his gun, and anyone who contemplates acquiring a new one.
* Coverage includes most of the major military and civilian rifle actions * Features updated and expanded information
