Sporting Rifle Magazine 79 Retour à l'édition précédente

Our summer special sees a vast range of sun-drenched stalks from all corners of the world. Mark Brackstone recounts the tale of a once-in-a-lifetime platinum medal muntjac, while Dominic Griffith reflects on the rise and rise of this diminutive deer species. Britain’s flagship the species the roebuck is also well covered, with Byron Pace catching up with a buck on a new plantation, Mark Brackstone taking a trio of bronze medals, and Ian Harford experiencing the best of continental roebuck in Germany.
We’ve got a raft of gear on test, including the Nightforce NXS scope, Nosler .308 rifle, Sellier & Bellot ammo, safari kit and more – while on the editorial side, David Barrington Barnes defends the UK’s deer against those who do not give it enough respect, and Tim Weston considers whether the controversial head shot can ever be ethical.
All that plus the usual array of sporting features covering everything from rimfire crows to African kudu. We’ve got four foxing writers sharing their expertise, a round-up of the game fairs you shouldn’t miss this summer, and the latest set of trophy heads to go through the BASC and Sporting Rifle measuring service.
