Outstanding August 20, 2008
Hands down, the best book I have on big game rifles and ammunition. Maybe I could be a bit more objective if it didn't literally save my sanity when I was delayed for over two hours in a traffic jam. Book in hand I never moved from my seat or glanced at the stalled traffic or my watch. In my opinion, this is the purest measure of quality. Does the book entertain, educate, engage and involve the reader? Is the information based on the author's own experience and research rather than armchair theory? In Safari Rifles the answers are clear and I find them increasingly rare as the years go by. This is a comprehensive guide for new and old enthusiasts on the practical use of hunting rifles in Africa ranging from the smallest caliber's working up to recently introduced seven hundred Nitro Express. Boddington also takes the time to give us the historical roots of the more popular rifles and offers sensible advice on their modern day applications. As a way of reminding the reader that he is a hunter first and gun-nut second, he interjects a good measure of his own field experience giving his observations extra credibility, not that they need it. I would recommend this title to anyone who uses a rifle. The information offered is current, accurate and thoroughly entertaining

this has to be the best book to have on any bedside tale for anyone with an interest in big game hunting and rifles, it is very informative and will go a long way in helping you to choose your next rifle should you be planning a hunt. I have decided on a 416 rigby bolt action rifle which gets more than its fair share of good reviews and hope this book will help in the planning of your next safari.

I could not put it down, and read it cover to cover in one night. After that it became a reference. The endless detail on calibers, cartridges and loads may put off some but it helped me choose a gun, gave me cartridge selection ideas and got me involved in a South African safari. It is a reference book that reads like a novel.
