He then discusses the range of calibres, bullets and sights available and their suitability for different game and different circumstances. He provides a detailed analysis of rifle sport available today. Beginning with 22 rimfire and .22 centrefire sport and deer stalking in Britain, he goes on to discuss the wider variety of game available in Europe, Africa and North America, explaining the different procedures and legislation that pertain in these areas, and giving advice on the types of weapon and cartridge suitable for a variety of game and locations.
