Complete .50-Caliber Sniper Course : Hard-Target Interdiction Paperback – March 15, 2000

This book is the s***! I can't believe I didn't know about it before. Sure, it's geared for the heavy weapon but the information on ballistics and corrections is transferable. This is an advanced book but not beyond anyone with an interest's reach...it should not be your only book on the subject but it should be in the library of every long range riflemen....civilian, LE or military. This is a BIG book...it can also serve as light body armor so keep it in your backpack while out on the range.

A very good and thorough book on the weapon, which I do happen to own.

Awesome

Great

For those who are not satisfied with less than the most minute and complete detail! Almost a hands-on experience! Too bad it has not been updated after +/- 2001.

Great book!

I read this book primarily for two reasons: (1) learn how to adjust for all factors in order to be on target with the first shot in varying conditions and at varying distances not known in advance of ranging, and (2) get an idea of specific makes and configurations of long distance rifles, optics, and related equipment so that I could make an intelligent selection. This book has been remarkably good in these two areas. It does present the information you need to know to dial in your shot accurately and adjust for changes in temperature, altitude, distance, and so on before you take the first shot. I've been pleased with the results using Dean's book and data tables. I've also used his reviews of rifles and optics to make purchases that I've been happy with.If you have questions in any of these areas, this is a excellent book. Much of the book will be useful to you. The title does not fully reflect all the information contained in the book, though. It contains tons of useful information whether you shoot the big 50s or just 308s and 338s.As far as other parts of the book of interest to real snipers or wannabes, such as target selection, evasion, etc, I have no expertise to judge, although I found the chapters an interesting read. My personal theory of combat is "when they're in range, you're in range" and therefore I'd just as soon stick to shooting paper targets or fresh venison.

Google Dean Michaelis to find out more about the author. I have read the book but after reading about the things this author has done to others in the shooting community, his book isnt worth owning. I do NOT recomend buying this book.

good read for those who don't have access to this kind of info,would suggest this book to anyone looking for skills and subject,well writing
