Dragging up an old thread...I just bought the Hemingway's Guns book and was surprised at how well written it is.
I particularly like that the authors played it right down the middle when it came to Hemingway's exploits. For example, they could have said, "what a great man he was to have killed a full grown rhino at 300 yards with an iron sight 30-06!" but they in fact note that his claim is highly dubious.
I also wholeheartedly agree with Steve McCarty's comments earlier in this thread.
Anyway, for those who haven't seen this book, it's worth having. I paid less than $9, shipped, for mine on Amazon.
