Shooter's Bible - 99th Edition

Terry Sheely, The Reel News, September 2007Since 1924 more than 7 million copies of Shooter's Bible have been sold cementing the title as the world's standard firearms reference book. If you wanna know about a gun, look it up in Shooter's Bible. My gunsmithing, wildcatting, varmint popping, bullet pouring Uncle Floyd used to repeat that phrase like a Mantra. The first SB I read was dobbed with gun oil, bent pages, rips in the cover and a permanent position on the corner of my uncle's loading bench. When ever I pick up a copy of SB, I still get flashback visions of mountains of .38 Special wad-cutter bullets, coffee-cans of brass, and metal cans of assorted Hogdon and Herter gunpowders. Stoeger is now owned by Benelli which markets some of the finest firearms on the planet. To their credit, however, the Benelli folks have left intact the creditability factor that has made SB the uncompromised industry-wide reference book that it is. The 99th edition includes 200 full-color plates of new guns and products, and the usual up to date prices and specifications of thousands of firearms (handguns, rifles, shotguns, black powder) and shooting industry products. Where else can you find out that a Smith and Wesson Model 442 is a double-action revolver with rubber grips, 1.8 inch barrel, weighs an ounce under a pound, shoots .38 specials, chambers 5 rounds and retails new for $498? While firearm descriptions and info are the backbone of this bible, it also covers in detail spotting scopes, binoculars, bullets, factory ammo, powders, ballistics, sights, holsters and reloading equipment. If it involves shooting, SB has it covered somewhere in those 576 pages. I can't imagine a hunter, shooter, or collector who doesn't own a copy of SB. This year's 99th edition is, in my opinion, the 99th most indispensable reference book in a row. BUY NOW
