Long-Range Precision Rifle, Expanded Edition: The Complete Guide to Hitting Targets at Distance

Ohhhhhhhh boy, this book will be on the kitchen table, bed side edge, near your rocking chair and in your man cave....your nose will be in it deep and when your wife calls for dinner you wont hear it because you are reading Mils and MOA....!!!BUT, its not perfect, the Author does mostly 308 and 223, also lots of hints to use ballistic charts on line and more a tactical view??Never less, here goes you nose again....reading and understanding....reading some more and learning....well written book for beginners and so called "I almost know it all guys and girls"....I am in the middle of these....I liked the book, bought it used and really learned a lot too....he likes MOA a bit better....so MIL/MIL stuff is a bit lean....but by all means a good book to get you nose wet in LRS !!! If you done with this one you need to order: Long Range Shooting by Ryan A Cleckner....wow....here goes your nose again...I am telling ya !!!!!

I have been shooting most of my life and found things in this book that I just had no clue about how to dial the accuracy of my rifles in with. My brother and I are very competitive and I plan to take his shirt the next time we go to the range...Thanks to the knowledge I have gained from this book and the author's experience.Well written and laid out systematically in a logical and easy to follow path.

I have been in competitive shooting since college but being comparatively new to long range shooting (over 600 yards), I was looking forward to a bit more of an in depth analysis of the activity. Most of what I got from the book I had already learned (the hard way).

This book is mostly for beginners, I was looking to enhance my current abilities, mostly reading wind but this book didn't help much. The reloading chapter was good and so was the ballistic truing. For a beginner one of the most important things to learn is how to approach the rifle and establishing NPA and this book did not cover that well. That alone should have been an entire chapter not just 1-2 pages. Another thing I didn't like was the mil/moa mix he used. Who uses MOA turrets other than hunters? It's not 1998!

so far, I am learning a lot, and it has been very informative. I do have one issue with one part of the book.There is a point in the book where he talks about using a mil dot reticle and some of his information is a bit confusing...I have nothing against mil dot reticles, and many people use them the way he describes, but I found it to be a bit narrow sighted.He talks about how you can do range estimation with Mils and it is easier zero your rifle at any distance with mils as well. He claims:"Without a mil- dot reticle, the shooter would need to put a three shot group in paper at a known distance, measure how far in inches the three shot group is away from the bulls eye, convert inches to MOA, adjust the riflescope as needed, then fire again in order to put the next three shot group in the bulls eye."However, this is not the case with MOA scopes. You can do all the same range estimation and zeroing you do with a mil dot, with a MOA reticle as well. It is the exact same process.In fact, in the very next section he talks about taking the mils, converting them to MOA and figuring out how to adjust your rifle scope. This just makes no sense.On top of that, he keeps using mil dots with standard (US) measurements such as Yards, but Mil was originally designed for metric measurements, such as Meters.It is much more difficult to figure out distance in Yards with a mil dot scope than it is to figure out distance in Yards with an MOA scope. The formulas are basically the same, but with different constants:Distance in Yards = (size of target in Inches/ size of target in MOA) x 100Distance in Meters= (size of target in CM/ size of target in Mils) x 10both of those are pretty easy, multiplying by 100 and 10 respectively. This is in contrast to:Distance in Yards= (size of target in Inches/ size of target in Mils) x 27.8

Book has good information, however not as informative as others, namely long range shooting handbook. There are some items that the author discusses as fact although there can be more than one right answer. The previews show the book in color, but the book received was black and white with cheap paper, and that made some of the pictures hard to follow. For the price, the book should have definitely been in color, and on better quality paper.

Love this book. It has a lot of really good information on finding range, the different types of scopes, how to use the hash marks, and ballistics information. Highly recommended book for beginners and those wanting to learn about placing that perfect shot.

I have his original book and felt I couldn't live without his expanded edition. If you're really into getting all the accuracy you possibly can from your rifle then I'd suggest this book. If you're just trying to sight in a deer rifle with factory ammo then you probably still should buy the book because if might keep you from doing dumb stuff like over torqueing your scope mount screws. note!! Inch pounds NOT foot pounds. Duh. Yes I learned the hard way.If you are a reloader? Buy the book because he shows techniques not taught in any reloading manual I've ever seen. But if you have a standard issue $400 deer rifle with a BSA (or similar) scope then stuff in the book might not apply.If you fancy yourself as a "long range hunter" taking shots at 600 yards + then by all means buy the book. Same comment if you aspire to F-Class. You can afford it. You already spent a few grand on the rifle and a few grand on the scope so why not!! You already weigh and sort your brass, yatta yatta. The book is written for the person shooting at well??? Long range!!! That's the name on the cover. Long meaning 600 yds + Those little errors at short range get magnified.errors become misses. And the pesky issue of wind is also addressed.

Good book - useful information, calculations and exercises/quizzes, but......could only give it four stars because (as one of the other reveiwers stated), many of the pictures are really poor quality (i.e. not in focus). Also, be aware that this new edition contains only black and white photos, not colour ones as shown in the 'Look Inside' option - these colour pictures are from the 2013 edition, and it's a bit surprising that a newer edition would have worse photos than the original.It's still an excellent book, full of useful info, but I was disappointed by the image quality/lack of colour (the latter was a bit misleading given the 'Look Inside' preview on Amazon - it's reasonable to assume the version you receive would be in colour also).

It covers everything, some of the windage solutuions could be simpler. Good as reference.

The book is very good, the author is a specialist.But he has problems with europe.Kahles is written with silent "h", but not "Kales",Kahles and Swarovski are from Austria, but not from Australia.The author doesn`t even mention the name Zeiss!!Why is he warning to purchase european riflescopes?The author writes, the US are now making the transition to .1-mil-per-click instead of 1/4 or 1/8 MOA per clickBut 1 click = 1 cm means one click is .1mil!So, why to warn about european riflescopes?

Good overview of long range shooting with a heavy emphasis on ballistic data card development. The meat of the book is dedicated to combining range data and ballistic software in a practical, logical sequence that leaves the long range shooter in possession of a data card that's actually useful instead of crammed with irrelevant information . A very good read.

Livre en noir et blanc, en anglais.Couverture souple, non cartonnées.Le découpage et les thèmes abordés sont bien structuré si on veut suivre la méthode. Certain point manquent d'explication, mais l'application de la méthode marche !Pas mal d'illustrations apportent à la compréhension.
