Summary: 'Advanced' for the dreamer/week-end warrior.
Review: This book unfortunately does not live up to the optimism or enthusiasm of the other reviewers or the title. "My First Bumper Book of Playing Soldiers" would probably be a better title in my opinion. The book covers a wide spectrum of concepts in the context of the title and is a reasonable light read but Ultimate will leave the professional disappointed.

Summary: This book is required reading!!!
Review: This is an excellent book written by an author who's been there/done that. The book covers dozens of topic in-depth without getting mired in obsessive details. Ballastic charts, Bullet drop charts, and range cards are all reproducable (a great help to me). If there has ever been a more generally informative long-range rifle book I've never heard of it, if you have PLEASE let me know. Once again, great book, even for a layman.

Summary: Exelent book for snipers and soon to be snipers
Review: This is probably the best book about sniping available, even for more experienced sniper's. This book in addition with Fm 23-10 and the Marine Sniper (FM-103B or something) is as close as you can get too military (and police) sniping.

Summary: Very Interesting Book
Review: Very interesting book for anyone who is interested in military techniques or police sniping. This book gives a good level of knowledge in possibilites, techniques and limitations of modern era sniping and that's why it should be read by every sniper, SF Officer and SWAT team member.

Summary: A great primer for the long range shooter
Review: We'll here's a book title that may get some folks shorts in a bunch. Of course if you wanted to learn about long range shooting, what other title would you look under? As a work dedicated to sniper training, it is probably representative of more basic or summary treatment of topics, but I'd leave this critique to someone more qualified. The book is promoted or defined as an Advanced Training Manual for Military and Police Snipers, but the detail in description and selection of any long range shooting equipment is the most comprehensive I've seen in public print. The book offers quite an education to almost any shooter. The rifle selection coverage is expansive. You'll find everything from types of actions to special preparation and specific model rifle features to look for. The section on scopes is a definitive work on shooting optics, including full description and application of every reticle I can think of, fitting and setting up a scope including mount and ring shimming and offsetting techniques. I know I have a better understanding of how MIL dot set up is suppose to work. This section concludes with a chapter on utilizing scopes, as well as related problems and solutions. There is great detail on shooting positions, using a sling, breathing techniques, etc. There is an excellent chapter on ballistics, including the basics of bullet and case construction, and on to premium cartridge selection and cartridge options, pros and cons. This section then rolls into a chapter that ties the preceding together into long-range marksmanship coverage. All of the preceding is all capped off with a good deal of information on field equipment ranging from range finders and binoculars to field posting and camouflage. Some of the material needs conversion to a hunting situation, while the concept remains the same; as an example, there is a lot of information on tracking and covering a given terrain or situation. To tell you the truth, I thought this content was closer to what "Art of the Rifle" would provide. If you are interested in long distance shooting with centerfire cartridges, this is an excellent addition to a home library.
