20ppc Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi, Just for your info, Bruce Potts has recently written a book called "Sporting Rifles" which is available from Amazon amongst others @ around the £22.00 mark. First impressions look pretty good. ATB Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC275 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Only the other day a friend asked me about rifle books and I showed him two classics off my shelf, Jim Carmichels Modern Rifle and Jack O'Connors Hunting Rifle but flicking through them we realised just how dated they are and we both said that a new rifle book was long overdue. Going to put my order in now for this new one from Bruce. Thanks for the link Spud. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Should be worth a purchase, I've got a lot of time for Bruce, a very knowledable man when it comes to rifles and reloading and a nice bloke to talk to too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20ppc Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 What does the book cover Nick?,is it just basics or some more advanced stuff too?. Hi Martin, I received my copy yesterday and I would say that its a general overview but with a bit for the more exerienced rifleman as well. Its well written with some very good photography. Bruce is hoping to start on a more "hardcore" book in the near future. Regards, Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
