Custom Rifles of Great Britain by Bruce Potts

If you are contemplating buying a custom rifle, or if you already own one and wish to make further modifications, then this is the book for you. Bruce Potts takes you on the journey of choosing, building, owning and shooting a custom rifle.

The three major types of custom rifle are covered: the factory custom (special or limited editions); the semi-custom (a factory rifle that is customized by the addition of upgraded parts requested by the owner); and the full-blown custom (a complete rifle designed in accordance with the customer's specific requirements and utilizing the very best precision parts and the highest quality materials to produce a unique rifle).

On a chapter-by-chapter basis each of the constituent parts of the custom rifle is considered and the reader is made fully aware of all of the choices that have to be made, and the issues involved. Bruce Potts has been lucky enough to meet some of the best custom rifle makers in Britain and test many of their rifles. This book showcases their work and demonstrates what is available to the British shooter.

About the Author:
Bruce Potts has over thirty years' experience as a shooter and wildlife photographer. He writes more than 100 articles a year for publciations such as Shooting Times, Shooting Sports and Gun Mart magazines. The subjects covered in his articles range from air rifles, rimfire, centre-fires and reloading, to rifle and product testing and hunting features. Bruce has a passionate interest in custom rifles, in the detailed and thorough testing of rifle ballistics, in deer stalking and in reloading, which has led to the creating of six of his own wildcat cartridge designs. This is Bruce's second book for Crowood, his first being the highly acclaimed Sporting Rifles (2009).
