Description

The definitive tribute to the world’s most impressive shoulder arms — the heavy‑caliber magazine and double rifles built for the largest game and the most discerning collectors. Richly illustrated and exhaustively researched, this volume surveys the golden age of big‑bore riflemaking, profiling the master craftsmen, workshops, and firms whose work set the standard for accuracy, strength, and refinement.

From classic British doubles and bespoke Holland & Holland and Purdey commissions to stout magazine hunting rifles built for African and Arctic fieldwork, the book explains the design principles, action types, cartridge families (.375 through .700), and the engineering that allowed rifles to safely channel tremendous power. Dozens of rare examples are shown in full color and close detail — stocks, proof marks, engraving, barrel profiles, and detachable magazine designs — accompanied by historical context, provenance notes, and collector guidance.

New condition. $85
