Summary: Agreeing with Mr. Sonnenberg
Review: I have to agree with Mr. Sonnenberg's review of this book. I think it's geared mainly for the beginner shooter. I also think it's over-priced since half the book consists of ballistic tables that I will never use. A serious shooter other than a beginner should already have their own ballistic charts for their rifles.

Summary: If you want MOA tables, here they are!
Review: I was disappointed in this book. Half of it is tables with MOA scope adjustments for various bullets and ranges. (Pp 1-86 are chatty text, and pp 88-161 are MOA tables) These are essentially useless to most people because they would have to be modified for one's own rifle/bullet/scope combination.I was hoping for more information on accurizing techniques (barrel bedding, cryo treatment, moly coating, etc). Instead, the only real description of any use to anyone is how to use a boresight to mount a scope using Burris rings. If you don't want to use Burris rings and a Bushnell or Redfield boresighter, then you probably won't get much useful information from this book. At least, I didn't. While there are some helpful hints sprinkled in the text, most are things a moderately experienced shooter would already know. Certainly anyone who is buying a book on long-range shooting (600 to 1200 yards) would already know most of the elementary information presented. My recommendation? Save your money, or buy two other books for the same price.

Summary: Jim Sonnenberg's 99% right
Review: Jim has (almost) hit the nail on the head - for the "not so experienced" long range shooter there are however one or two pearls contained in the text. Would I buy this again? maybe, but not at this price.
