 A pithy little book October 6, 2006
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
If you've ever run out of elevation adjustment on your scope at 600 yards, this book is for you. Noblitt and Gabrilska have put together a cogent (pithy) text on taking your heavy-barreled bolt gun, chambered in a suitable long-range cartridge with appropriate optics and getting on paper at 600, 800, or 1000 yards.
The solutions are surprising. Not glass-bedding, not cryo-treatment, not moly coated bullets, not (name the fad), but rather some simple and elegant recommendations to create a long-range system--an adequate rifle, the right cartridge, the right scope, the right bases and rings, the right zero or zeros. It's amazing what you can do even with a 1MOA rig, if all these factors are working together. I've discovered some of these techniques after much money and time at the high-power range and in open country. If I'd only known about this book 10 years ago.
The data tables in the back are worth every penny. They are generally reliable. Of course, you'll need to create/tailor your own tables using your field trajectory data, but that's the joy of shooting and discovering how your rifle and cartridge perform under different environmental conditions.
One of my favorite little books.

Almost half of this book is balistics tables, probably for cartridge and bullet combinations you are not shooting.
The rest of the book is mostly geared to the beginning shooter, but the information is not very good. For instance, the authors suggest using scope bases with the built in windage adjustments. The authors must have about zero experience with these bases, which are known for unintentionally allowing your zero to shift. I don't know of any military or lawenforcment tactical shooter, or any civilian long range shooter using the scope bases and rings suggested in the book. The best shooters are using solid steel bases secured to the rifle with over sized screws.
Also, there is no up to date information on long range rifles, gunsmithing, or modern cartridge and bullet design.
A waste of time and money.
Jim Sonnenberg's 99% right June 3, 2004

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.
Agreeing with Mr. Sonnenberg January 21, 2000

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.
