ElvisThePelvis Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Guys Any suggestions for a rifle shooting book for a beginner, ideally covering safety, disassembly, maintenance, setting up scopes and different calibres and ballistics. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drut Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 The art of of the rifle by Jeff Cooper is the one that has given me the best insight although it does not cover all your bases:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Rifle-Jeff-Cooper-ebook/dp/B00452V6AW or search for pdf download.I also bought a book by Wayne van Zwoll: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/hunters-guide-to-accurate-shooting-wayne-van-zwoll/1006170536/2670455255874?st=PLA&sid=BNB_DRS_Marketplace+Shopping+Paperbackshopus_00000000&2sid=Google_&sourceId=PLGoP23125&k_clickid=3x23125 but frankly learned nothing new from the experience but did enjoy reading the book. If you search the various forums there is much to be found to add to/replace whatever these books contain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 An older one, but still VERY valid: AG's Book of the Rifle You should get a copy on one of the book sites for a few quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
