This is a tremendous work and belongs in the personal library of any big bore rifle or double rifle enthusiast... any shooter, gun enthusiast or reloader for that matter.

As the gun annuals go, this book is "IT". Gun Digest is evolving and doing it's best to keep up with the very fast rate of change that we see in the world of firearms and ammunition these days. There are others in the same category but none that can be considered better.

I found inspiration and valuable information in the pages of this book (all editions) when writing my own book, rexGun by Templar Rexgun, which addresses safari and dangerous game rifles and how to select appropriate cartridges for any given game, up to T. rex.

I highly recommend this book, every edition of this book, to all shooters and gun enthusiasts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy piece of work!, January 14, 2010

On the front cover of this book are the words, "THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUN BOOK!".
Unfortunately, if you try to use the "GUNDEX" or gun index, the page numbers are all wrong. In other words, someone forgot to edit the index for this edition.
Ah, you say, who cares! Who indeed. Therein lies the greatest tragedy of all; apathy.

I found the 2010 Gun Digest to be an excellent addition for this venerable franchise. I have been critical of the recent past Gun Digests but I really liked this 2010. There is a new editor, Dan Shideler who has clearly revitalized the GD formula. The editors have increased the total number of articles from the past editions. Among the increase is an expanded coverage for collectors of antiques as well as historical features. I especially liked the expanded custom and engraved guns photo section. All photos were clear and distinct to me. I would recommend the GD 2010 to every gun enthusiast.
