"Shooting the British Double Rifle" Available NOW!
#115766 - 28/09/08 10:09 PM

I need to find somewhere in the U.S. where I can order a copy of "Shooting the British Double Rifle" by Graeme Wright. I work in Saudi Arabia but will be going home to Texas for my annual repatriation leave in December. I'd like to order this book so it will be waiting on me when I get there.

If you know where this book is available today, please tell me who I can order it from. If you post a URL I may or may not be able to access it as the Saudi's try to block all gun related sites from all servers in the Kingdom. So it you give a URL, please also give the business' phone number in case the URL is blocked and I have to order by phone.

The next edition is due for release at the end of the year. Stay tuned, I will be getting some in for Nitro Express members.

You might if lucky find a second edition somewhere. Mentioned many times on NE.com, do a search on "Shooting the British Double".

I would rather get the new edition, but my repatriation leave to the U.S. will end about newyear and I'll be back in Saudi for many months.

So if I could find a current 2nd edition for original new price or not much more (I think new price was about $40 USD) I would go ahead and buy it and have it shipped to my Texas address.

Then if the new edition is available in December, I would get that also and leave the 2nd edition in storage in Texas. But if the new editon is delayed, as is usually the case, I still have the 2nd edition to read until my 2009 repat leave (probably in July).

Try these Kiwis. They still have it listed on their website:

PS Tell them I told you about it too.

NitroX,

I may give them a call.

Surprisingly, their site is not blocked here. I hope they don't upgrade their blocking software until after I retire.

However, the company logo no longer functions on the site and the page you list was last updated on Oct. 29, 2002 - almost 6 years ago. So its a long shot at best.

Anyone know any other possible sources?

O.K., I guess I’ll wait on the new edition. Even if it’s not available in time for this repat.

So I need a back up substitute to order and read in case it’s late.

I just read Terry Weiland’s “Dangerous Game Rifles” and years ago read Taylor’s “African Rifles and Cartridges”.

If I can only make room for one right now, which should it be? Boddington’s “Safari Rifles”? Woods’ “Rifles for Africa”? Other suggestions?

Rifles for africa IMHO - but it doesn't offer the same type of info as Wright. With Taylor, Woods and Wieland, you've got it covered. Add Wright for double specific info, but not which rifle/calibre is most appropriate.

I have been advised the release date is more likely to be around March.

Maybe taking a while, but it will be worth it.

Please put me down for a copy, I'll definately take one. Do you think maybe we should start a list as to quantity needed, or will it be a fairly large printing run?

NitroX,

Please put me down for one.
Once these books go out of
print, you end up having to
pay collector prices.

Brazos Jack,

If you are still following this
thread, I have had Taylor’s “African
Rifles and Cartridges” for decades and
still enjoy it. I just finished Weiland’s
“Dangerous Game Rifles” and just started
Boddington’s “Safari Rifles II".

I had Taylor's "Big Game and Big Game
Rifles" on order with Amazon for about
a year and they canceled the order,
saying the publisher never delivered.

Safari Rifles II is an updated and
expanded Safari Rifles. They cost the
same from Safari Press. They clipped
the old price off the dust jacket flap
and put a sticker with a higher price
over the old one one the back of the
dust jacket. Mine is 594 pages and has
a 2009 copyright date. I got it earlier
this month.

When I have a price people will be able to pre-order and I will order enough for the ordered copies plus a quantity to have on hand.

Double D,

I appreciate the tip.
I have looked there, but Amazon
had it listed for pre-order at
under $30 with free shipping.
Those are collector prices to me.
The foreign prices aren't bad, but
when I add in the shipping, it is way
more than Amazon was going to charge.
Maybe a fresh run will come out at
a lower price. I'll keep trying.
