Francis Sell was a very talented writer whose stories were always well-written and engrossing. Like others, I doted on him as a youngster. As I recall, his favorite elk medicine was the .348 Winchester in the lever action M71.
Just try convincing today's LR boys, with their turrets and muzzle brakes and fluted SS barrels, that an open-sighted lever gun can kill an elk....or even a whitetail!
