Keith's Rifles for Large Game

This is the second book about hunting rifles written by Elmer Keith and it builds upon his earlier work, Big Game Rifles and Cartridges. This book covers everything from selecting hunting rifles to how best to carry a rifle while on horseback.

Keith discusses hunting rifles and calibers for various hunting scenarios including hunting in timber, long range stalking, and hunting dangerous game. In addition to selecting a rifle, Keith covers the use of the rifle in the field and how to care for the rifle once the hunt is complete. This truly is a complete treatise on hunting rifles by one of the most renowned American big game hunters of the Twentieth Century.

This book, combined with Big Game Rifles and Cartridges and Elmer Keith’s Big Game Hunting, is the result of Keith’s several decades’ worth of experience hunting America’s big game species.
