Read both O'Connor & Keith's books as a kid. Elmer made me want a .44 mag and a .375 H&H.

Jack never made me want to buy a 270, but did influence me to buy a 7x57. So did Bell.

I started reading Skeeter Skelton & Bill Jordan as a High School Freshman and was probably influenced by Skeeter as much as Keith. And that's why I'm probably more of a handgun guy than a rifleman.
