The use of double rifles for hunting in Africa is a long-standing tradition. They are fantastically accurate and reliable, and can add a level of romance to your safari that is unobtainable with any other rig.
Austrian-based Jagdhund is now offering its gear in the United States, through Steyr Arms. Richard Mann took a closer look at some of the company's more hunting-driven offerings.
In his new book, The Scout Rifle Study, Richard Mann weighs the worth of the scout rifle—for defensive purposes, survival and hunting—in modern terms. The title is fitting, as the book is an exhaustive and enlightening examination of a firearm type that’s commonly misunderstood, as well as a survey that provides real-world, objective data on the scout rifle’s supposed benefits.
