A few of today's writers really make me sick. Between all of the industry a$$-ki$$ing, new-age-style, physics-defying BULListics, perk-payback and the attitude of some that they've never met a rifle or a cartridge or a bullet yet that they didn't like, you can just about hear the lyrics to "Everything Is Beautiful In Its Own Way" every time you read an article anymore. It's like no one really believes in anything anymore or stands for anything anymore, other than to make the paid advertisers happy. And what we've been largely left with is a spirit of mediocrity..........
At least guys like Keith and O'Connor and Hagel STOOD FOR SOMETHING, and they weren't caught up in the continuous rifle/cartridge-of-the-month club stuff that has gotten so predictable and so stale in recent years. Jim Carmichel has pretty much hunted with the fine rifles he's wanted to hunt with over the years as well, as did his predecessor.
Ross is of the same stripe, and maybe that's one reason we haven't seen as much of him as we would like to have in recent years. But his superb taste, expertise, and experience has always shown through, and he always knows whereof he speaks. He is not intimidated by the concept of excellence, nor does he turn a blind eye to it. There's depth and substance to him...........
