“Over the years this deer hunter has had more trouble with bullets that didn't open up fast enough on deer than he has had with bullets that penetrated too deeply. He thinks that if the deer hunter has a choice he should take the fast-opening bullet.”
O’Connor explores the hunting rifle and its accessories and lays them out-piece by piece for the reader's examination. From the old tried-and-trues to the latest equipment, from the lightest .22 to the heavy .458, O'Connor surveys the whole range of rifles, cartridges, scopes, stocks-all in the light of how they perform in the field. There are many valuable insights into hunting technique, too—for the safari, varmint hunt, and everything in between.
