    I think it's the same book shown in the "For Sale Elsewhere" section of the Quartermaster Stores, which he's selling on eBay....

    I ordered one as soon as I saw it released...

    Thumbs up

    My copy just arrived in today's post ....

    Huge book and lit's oaded with a ton of quality pics on a wide range of scopes. I think it's going to prove valuable to folks who focus on sniper rifles as their primary area of collecting interest.

    Regards,
    Doug

    Just got my copy of the 2nd edition.....

    557 pages of glossy paper photographs......

    Well worth the price and a great addition to the advanced military collectors library. I give it 2 thumbs up.

    2nd printing is sold out.

    Robert is now thinking of making the 3rd printing into a pocket book type format for easier carry and reference.
    His forum has been hacked into and restarted from scratch.
