Book Reviews of Dead On: The Long-Range Marksman's Guide to Extreme Accuracy
Book Review: A pithy little book
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've ever run out of elevation adjustment on your scope at 600 yards, this book is for you. Noblitt and Gabrilska have put together a cogent (pithy) text to get you on paper at 600, 800, or 1000 yards.
The solutions are surprising, some rather simple and elegant recommendations to create a long-range system--an adequate rifle, the right cartridge, the right scope, the right bases and rings, the right zero or zeros. It's amazing what you can do even with a 1MOA rig, if all these factors are working together. I've discovered some of these techniques after much money and time at the high-power range and in open country. If I'd only known about this book 10 years ago.
The data tables in the back are worth every penny. They are generally reliable. Of course, you'll need to create/tailor your own tables using your field trajectory data, but that's the joy of shooting and discovering how your rifle and cartridge perform under different environmental conditions.
If you are an advanced shooter, you might want to pass. But, if you are new to long range precision rifle and want to get the most out of your equipment, this book comes highly recommended. Not an encyclopedia like many books on this topic, but dialed in on essentials. One of my favorite little books.
