For those interested, Terry Wieland has a new book out, "Dangerous-Game Rifles". I have only just began the book, but all indications are that it will be a good one. I really enjoy Terry's writings and the premise for this book lends itself to his style easily. Basically, Terry, Finn Aagaard, Jack Carter, Terry Henley booked a hunt with Robin Hurt to test Jack's then-new Bear Claws on Cape Buff.

Lots of nice pictures too! 333 pages of text, tables, pictures, and details of hunts. Foreward by Robin Hurt.

D,
Thanks for the link. I ordered it. The newest Terry Wieland book should be a good read of history, and more.

Terry is an excellent writer, who could make any subject a pleasure to read, so he is down right compelling on subjects he is passionate about, like DGR's.

I forgive him for his ignorance (or deliberate ignoring of acknowledgement of the .495 A-Square), in concocting his idea of the ultimate DGR for bolt action: A straight tapered 460 Weatherby case necked to .510 caliber.

Hey, he is just doing another RIPoff maneuver.

i will order his book also, a nice christmas present for sure...

and he has written much good like the clasic but true sentence ; "When in elephant terrain, carry a elephant rifle"

It will be good to read that book and to see the good pictures. but the bank account wont like it...

I only cost 26 $ at amason, with free shipping.

Jeez, now I got another week of peanut butter and jelly sandwisches at the shop! Thanks!

Thanks Johnsen. That tip saved me a few bucks.

So, how much extra did I put in Terry's pocket when I added A View from a Tall Hill: Robert Ruark in Africa to my order.

I just order it from overstock.com this week

Another $26.00 off to Amazon.com instead of into my "kudu fund" for future hunting expenses...
