A great bargain,

This review is from: Old Gunsights And Rifle Scopes: Identification and Price Guide (Paperback)
Even though I own both of Mr. Stroebel's previous books on scopes and mounts, I added this one to my library. It contains much new material, a section of color photos, and combines both previous books into one. This has resulted in a bargain book that should be included in every collector's library.

Identification Guide,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Old Gunsights And Rifle Scopes: Identification and Price Guide (Paperback)
This guide has all the information that you need to identify the make year and model sight that you have on your rifle. In addition if you want to find out what sight came on one of your old family rifles you can look it up and find out what time was installed at the factory also if their were optional sights. I used this guide to identify what type of peep sight did Winchester install on a model 72 rifle. I found from the guide that there
were several options. My search on the net only showed 1 sight. I recommend this guide to anyone who wants information on old gun. Having the price is also very helpful when trying to find replacements and parts.

BS: It's NOT What you Think!,
By
This review is from: Old Gunsights And Rifle Scopes: Identification and Price Guide (Paperback)
Nick Stroebel's excellent book, OLD GUNSIGHTS, recalls an age not so long ago when hunters went into the field with rifles which mounted iron sights instead of the scopes seen universally today. Yes, there was a time BEFORE SCOPES (BS) and real hunters carried real rifles with iron sights.
Although my eyes aren't what they used to be, I still have some of those great, old rifles and one them carries a fabulous-looking dial micrometer sight called a "Vaver." It's rugged, accurate and it was manufactured in Chicago. Mine is mounted on a nicely customized Mauser .30-06. I couldn't find any information on the Vaver until I studied Stroebel's book which had an article on it. If you're old enough to remember hunting and shooting BS (Before Scopes), you'll find a lot of interesting information in OLD GUNSIGHTS. It's a valuable reference for shooters and collectors who are interested in the gold, old days. I gave the book five stars.
