About this product

Product Information

Heres the perfect companion to that most popular starter rifle, the venerable .22. The best isnt always the biggest--and the .22 is not only the perfect first rifle, but also one that many hunters and shooters come back to and use throughout their days afield. Wayne van Zwoll, a longtime expert on the subject, takes experts and beginners alike through the history, variety, and use of the classic .22. He writes appealingly about his first .22, and the ones he bought for later competitive use. He describes hunting with the .22, target shooting, and details the care and upkeep of the weapon. He discusses the evolution of the gun, and the refinements of the ammo that go with it. Included are chapters on: *The .17 *Practical scopes *Squirrel rifles *Supports *Browning *Getting to zero *Winchester *Holding a rifle still *Remington*The sling *Cooper*Prepping for the field *Ruger*A bullet's way through the wind *Savage*Cleaning *Real gunstocks *Ballistics *Better sights *. . . and more The .22s accuracy, economy, and versatility have made it an all-time best-seller. Now theres a book to go with every one.

"There are perhaps half a dozen books that every serious shooter must have. This is one of them."--David E. Petzal, deputy editor, Field & Stream "In 1972, I wrote a book called The .22 Rifle that was a modest, bare-bones guide for kids and new shooters. If my little volume was a dish of plain vanilla, Wayne van Zwolls new .22 book is a 7,500-calorie banana split. "--David E. Petzal, deputy editor, Field & Stream, "If there is something even remotely connected to the use of our most popular firearm that he has omitted, I can't think what the hell it might be.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A. Fantastic price. Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected. Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.

    Well written complete book on .22 caliber rimfire rifles and pistols.

    Very educational book on the history and lore of .22 rimfire pistols and rifles. Complete with chapters on various manufacturers, care and maintenance of guns, facts that are useful to anyone interested in the use and history of these small bore arms. Additional information on .22 Magnum and .17 HMR calibers. Well written and a very enjoyable read.
