1976 1st edition. Winchester Press. New York. Ppxiv,288. B/w photographs, illustrations, charts, appendix & bibliography. Slight foxing to edges but very good in faded dust-wrapper.
Notes: "One of the most significant turning points in modern rifle design was the development of the bolt action". An extremely good reference detailing the strength, accuracy and efficiency of the bolt action firearm, from its origins to present day use by both military and sporting marksmen. Good line plans of the many different gun models, accompanied by explanatory text, charts, tables and equations make this an excellent resource for any serious gun enthusiast.
