I started reading O'Connor at about age twelve; I was given old Outdoor Lifes from a favorite uncle. Mr. O'Connor got me interested in bolt action hunting rifles as apposed to military weapons and lever actions from the Westerns. I started with Keith at about 14, he was entertaining; but about his only influence on me was making me want a .44 magnum a long time before Dirty Harry. If a rifle is accurate, at least somewhat practical, or is historically interesting, I like it.
