Varmint and Small Game Rifles and Cartridges Book

Not too many years ago, when the sport of varmint hunting was in its infancy, a varmint rifle was a pretty sophisticated, custom-made rifle, including state of the art barrel making technology, triggers and scopes. Among those who recognized a value of a good, long-range small game or varmint rifle was John Wooters, Bob Hagel, Les Bowman, Layne Simpson, Jim Charmichel, Mike Venturino and others. Many of the concepts and ideas these and other shooters helped to pioneer are discussed in-depth in the following chapters and are basic ingredients in off-the-shelf varmint rifles from Winchester, Savage, Remington, Browning and Ruger today. The Varmint and Small Game Rifles and Cartridges tells you what shoots and why, describing the basic principles required for top notch accuracy, and as at least one man said, "Only accurate rifles are interesting."
