1.0 out of 5 stars A collectors book...not very useful for shooter, February 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Know Your Ruger 10/22 (Know Your Gun Series) (Paperback)

The content of the book is overly personalized to the author and contains little information useful to the average 10/22 shooter. The book reads as if the author is writing for himself rather than for the reader; the most commonly used word being "I". Collectors may find some valuable information though the presentation makes the book a below average and boring read. There is a copy of the original 10/22 patent, which is interesting, and some "blow up" shots showing the firearm parts and assembly in detail. These are the only pluses in the book but can be found in other 10/22 manuals which are much better written than this book. In short, if one is looking for a little history, and some collector information on the Ruger 10/22, this might be a book to consider. If one is a shooter looking for details on how to use, repair or modify this firearm, look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars For Ruger 10/22 Collectors, January 8, 2001

This review is from: Know Your Ruger 10/22 (Know Your Gun Series) (Paperback)

In this short easy to read book, the author discusses his experiences with collecting this popular firearm. He addresses the various variations seen, with specifics related to years and serial number ranges. His writing style is conversational as opposed to narrative. The graphics are adequate although color would've been more useful. For those looking for operator manual type information, this is not the book for you. If you are interested in collecting the 10/22, this is a good place to start.
