This book is devoted to a whole series of useful firearms, beginning with the well-known .22 Long Rifle. The venerable “twenty-two” hosts a wide array of interesting loads, including some ultra-quiet choices and fairly nasty high-speed rounds. Even hotter rimfire calibers include the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, plus three small-bore derivatives: the .17 Mach II, .17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum, and Winchester’s high velocity .17 Super Magnum. Careful shopping can provide us with a useful rimfire (or maybe even two) with which to quietly harvest small game or eliminate pests. An economical .22 LR firearm can also serve as a great high-powered rifle trainer if similar function is considered. In a pinch, it might even work for self-defense. The rimfires can’t do everything, but they can do a lot once fully understood. One trait is easy to overlook until you start shooting. They’re lots of fun! This book will lead the way from beginning to end.

Webley Air Rifles comprises a comprehensive history of all the air rifles made by the company between 1925 and 2005; from the introduction of the Mark 1, right through to modern pre-charged guns such as the Venom Viper. Beyond dealing with the rifles themselves, this book also covers the circumstances under which the early rifles were introduced, together with information as to how and why they were subsequently developed in the way they were. It also examines the myriad of fascinating accessories produced to complement the Webley air rifle, together with a chapter discussing the various promotional aids and advertising material used. All these artifacts are supported by color photographs, some of which have never been published before.

A highly detailed training program for hunters who wish to push their airgun hunting skills to an advanced level of proficiency Having worked with some of the world's leading air rifle and scope manufacturers to produce this remarkable work, the author instructs the shooter on the mechanics of the long-range hunting air rifle and scope, and provides instructions on rifle servicing and maintenance. He also discusses the precision alignment of the scope with the bore of the rifle on which it is mounted, explains the use of the chronograph, analyzes the fine tuning of hunting air rifles to improve their accuracy, and examines the employment of night-vision equipment and other devices for hunting at night and in dull light. Fitness training for the shooter is covered, as is the use of camouflage. He also considers the mindset of the marksman and the techniques of marksmanship, and describes two very demanding marksmanship tests.
