The New Bible On Rimfire Rifles & NRL22

The .22 Long Rifle calibre is the most popular ammunition and firearm chambering in the world. It's a backyard plinker, small-game hunter, tactical trainer and Olympic medalist. Along with its .17-calibre cousins, the humble .22 LR is undergoing a massive resurgence in the United States, and around the world, especially in places like the United Kingdom and New Zealand, which effectively ban centre-fire chamberings.

The rimfire rifle, a historic centrepiece of the shooting community, is trending in a big way, and Rimfire Revolution: A Complete Guide to Modern .22 Rifles brings the topic into current times. Every major gun manufacturer has brought at least one new rimfire rifle to the market in the last two years, and these models are covered in detail.

This full-colour work includes a sampling of topics such as complete coverage of semi-autos and how they work, the magic of bolt-action accuracy, advice on sharpening up shooting accuracy, match shooting and how to succeed, DIY precision gunsmithing, hunting with rimfires, and the future of the rimfire market.

Additionally, to guarantee that this work provides complete rimfire coverage, the author also goes deep into the capabilities of the "Mighty Mice," the .17s: 17HM2, 17HMR and 17WSM.
