From the steaming jungles of the Congo basin in search of the elusive bongo to the arid bushveld of Zimbabwe for leopard, Boddington pursues a large array of animals. America's most popular international hunter tracks after such exotic animals as the mountain nyala, giant forest hog, sitaunga, giant eland, and a host of other game with unusual names.

Craig Boddington is not only today's best known writer on hunting in Africa, but also no hunter alive has accomplished all that Craig has in his pursuit of the African Buffalo. He has successfully hunted and shot all varieties of African buffaloes--Cape, Nile, Central African, West African, and dwarf forest buffalo--and he has also used more calibers, bullets, and various types of firearms and sights in his pursuit of the buffalo than any other person alive.

Gone are the days of simple-solid and softpoint-bullets for a mere dozen-and-a-half African calibers. The sheer number of products on the market today staggers the mind and bewilders even experienced hunters. Boddington presents his information in clearly explained, bite-size pieces that we can digest, and in the process he gives us a solid understanding of what works and what doesn't. Many writers proclaim their knowledge of African hunting, but few have the true in-depth experience that comes from thousands of days afield. Boddington's Safari Rifles II is a rare gem of a book, offering solid information based on vast experience and insight gathered over the last thirty years of hunting on the Dark Continent.
