Book Reviews of The Gun Digest Book of Long-Range Shooting
Book Review: Just Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is just the worst piece I have ever seen written on this subject. There is no specific information that would educate or prepare someone for long range shooting. The coverage of firearms is just a listing of what guns and cartidges are available from major manufacturers with little offered regarding applicablility. The rest is just a collection of mundane stories...sort of like watching bass fishing on TV.
The author is contradictory from one chapter to the next, bascially wandering from one opinion to another as the book goes on. At one point he suggests the 7mm Remington magnum is a great selection for chuck hunting, after suggesting the 223 Remington and suggesting the 22-250. My favorite quote was "Recently, the 300 Winchester magnum is getting some attention for long range shooting" or maybe ""The scope is the eye of the shooter for long range hunting".
The author opens by ridiculing the opinion of someone who selected the 17 Remington for long chuck shooting, but later goes on to post data for the 17 Mach II and 22 LR cartridges. By the time he was done recommending, he had even included the 30-30 WCF and 50 BMG for long range sport shooting. I'm not trying to me mean. I am sure the author is a nice guy, as are his buddies, services and suppliers he covers in this work, but then I was charged $16 to read this tripe. Was the book inspirational in some way? Yes, it pretty much means I have a chance of publishing my work on hobbyist neurosurgery.
