Big Dog Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Can anyone recommend any good rifle shooting books or DVDs. I am Looking for 3 main things 1. Rifle care and maybe comparisions of calibre etc 2. Setting up your gun 3. Balistic stuff All basic but I find it hard to get stuff that is interesting to read or watch. What I mean is not just all pages of writing but something that is well laid out with pictures, diagrams and good headings. I bought one recently, cant remember what it is called, it is just page after page of text - to me this is very old style and boring, very hard to use as a reference book. So what is your choice?? Maybe Internet stuff as well??[/B] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 BD, I was given Robin Marshall-Balls' "The Sporting Rifle - User's Handbook" a couple of years ago, that isn't a bad book. It covers most things, .22's are given a bit more room that the other calibres, but that is mainly due to their popularity. It is at least and English book, some of the American stuff can be a bit irrelevant to us. It lists at about £19 but if you use AbeBooks to find it for you you should be able to get it for less than that. If you get any DVD's let me know an I can burn a quick 'backup' of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
