PAPPAS, Cal.
THE .600 NITRO EXPRESS. A LOOK AT THE WORLD'S FINEST RIFLES.
2009
A new book - privately published by the author - and signed by him. This is a remarkable effort by Pappas, with numerous illustrations in both colour and b/w. Folio. 194 pages.
This caliber was first introduced around 1900 by Jeffery, and subsequently there were about 130 rifles made in this caliber, according to the author. Pappas tracked down no less than thirty of these rifles still in existence today and gives us detailed descriptions of them. In addition, he has combed through the archives of the gunmakers and found serial numbers for their .600 guns, ballistic information both vintage and modern, as well as bullet, head stamp, and box variations. The author also tracked down many early professional hunters who used .600s. The author lives in Alaska.
