The hunting rifle

The Hunting Rifle, by Jack O'conner, makes for interesting reading if you long for the "good old days". Mr. Jack takes you back to a time and place before all of the short fat, long thin, new and improved, super duper magnums, and all of the computer drawings for deer/elk tags, etc. arrived. The historic and/or technical information that you glean from his book is invaluable, and it is loaded with tasty tidbits of some of his actual hunts both in the U.S. and abroad. I find that Mr. Jack is somewhat opinionated (rightfully so)..... but at the same time amusing. If you like to curl up before the fire with a big cup of nostalgia, then this is the book for you.
