Gamefield Classics brings together two preeminent talents in the world of sporting firearms. Michael McIntosh is the world’s most highly respected firearms writer; William W. Headrick stands alone at the pinnacle of firearms photography. Out of this unique collaboration comes a unique collection of stories and photos, all from the pages of Sporting Classics magazine. Here you’ll find a wide range of sporting shotguns and rifles built by an equally wide range of makers. All are classics in their own way. Some are pristine examples, others show the signs of much loving use and care. Here you’ll find history—of the makers and in some cases of the guns themselves. All have a story to tell.

I love to buy books on Amazon . These titles are just so hard to get in Australia . Text & pictures are 1st quality . The guns reviewed are rare/exotic/desirable . Anyone who buys this book be warned .... don't drool over it . It's the next best thing to owning the real thing .
