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 Zwoll's new .22 book is a 7,500-calorie banana split. '--David E. Petzal, deputy editor, Field & Stream 'Anyone who owns a .22 rifle will find van Zwoll's book fascinating.'--Charlotte Observer (North Carolina) 'van Zwoll's 332-page book is an excellent resource for the beginning rimfire shooter and an entertaining read for more experienced outdoorspersons.'--Kingsport Times-News 'The Complete Book of the .22 is an important resource for a shooter's library.'--Kenosha News 'Readers learn everything there is to know about the cartridge and the rifles produced now and in the past . . .

Not that it is a bad book because if I had it to do all over, I would buy it again. It's just that any 22 book I read is going to be compared to "The Gun Digest Book of the 22 Rimfire" by John Lachuk which to date I believe to be the cream of the crop. Approximately 80 of the 325 or so pages was spent on the History of some ... Read More Rating - Enjoyable Read, Lacks Focus Let me preface this review by saying that I'm new to guns and shooting, so this is written from the perspective of a novice. I bought this book because I'm considering the purchase of my 1st .22 rifle and I thought it might help me out in choosing the right one. Not so much, it turns out. I have real mixed feelings about this book. All of the chapters are enjoyable to read, but they are almost all generally applicable and ... Read More Rating - An Incomplete guide to the .22 What a waste of money. This is a compilation of some of Van Zwoll's articles in some gun mag. Many chapters have absolutely nothing to do with the .22 or any other rimfire> Do you care about the ballistic's of a 30-30 at 150 yds. when you want info about a .22 or a .17 Mach 2 or HMR ? Rating - An excellent guide The versatile .22 is one of the most popular starter rifles, a perfect first choice for hunters and shooters and an economic choice at that. THE COMPLETE BOOK OF THE 22: A GUIDE TO THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR GUNS offers analysis of everything from triggers and rimfires in general to makers, specs, and shooting tips for all environments. An excellent guide for any 22 rifle owner or would-be owner. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch see more reviews See all books by author Wayne van Zwoll
