The best isn't always the biggest--and the .22 is not only the perfect first rifle, but also one that many hunters and shooters come back to and use throughout their days afield.Wayne van Zwoll, a longtime authority on the subject, takes experts and beginners alike through the history, variety, and use of the classic .22.

"There are perhaps half a dozen books that every serious shooter must haveThis is one of them."--David E. Petzal, deputy editor, Field & Stream "In 1972, I wrote a book called The .22 Rifle that was a modest, bare-bones guide for kids and new shooters. If my little volume was a dish of plain vanilla, Wayne van Zwoll's new .22 book is a 7,500-calorie banana split. "--David E. Petzal, deputy editor, Field & Stream
