Book Review: best possible gift for a gun nut
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no more comprehensive source for info on contemporary firearms than Gun Digest, and the 2009 edition maintains the tradition of excellence. This is the kind of book that serious shooters, collectors, and firearms enthusiasts of any stripe want to unwrap on Christmas, or as a gift anytime. Even more so because it is not necessarily the kind of book that we would buy for ourselves...we'd read it in the store, really wish we had it, but say its too expensive, we got bills to pay, etc.
The diversity of firearms out right now is astounding, and this book presents a tremendous overview of what is out there, what it does and who is making it, and what calibers it can be found in. I was particularly interested in all the "black rifle" photos, just to see who was making what.
Since I was in the market for a new bolt action- I was looking at Steyrs, Kimbers, Sakos and Tikkas (finally settled on a Rem. 700, though) McMillans, etc. Before I started the the endless internet searches, and then the even more endless gun store visits and telephone searches, I flipped open Gun Digest 2009, and just started dreaming - it was my first stop in the search, and that is one practical use of the book for anybody. Beyond that though, it is any gun person's wish book, a windowshopping tour that makes for hours of dreaming - like I imagine the old Sears catalogs were for people who lived on homesteads in the middle of nowhere - windows into possibility, alot of "what if I could afford that?" And a lot of fun.
