Yup -- Steve Timm was great. I STILL use the .223 powder (H335) he liked. Only difference is he liked 40 grain NBT bullets and I always preferred 55 grainers. Always wanted a Darrell Holland Walking Varminter like Steve had. Model 700, McMillian stock, PacNor barrel -- about a #3 or 4 contour and a VariX III. Beautiful

Agreed on Steve Timm's writing, he has been one of my favorites. He had it nailed as far a walking varmint rifle build also. Pretty darned amazing - he found out what worked and stayed with it through thick and thin, not at all like most of us do.

As far as Brenzy - every time I tried to read one of his articles it was a WTF? There are a ton of bad writers out there but he has to be in the top two.

I enjoyed it most when the articles were written by the average guy.. It was interesting in those days..

I got a kick out of Brezny. Can't say I remember learning much from him but he was entertaining and provided a view of another lifestyle than I will ever have.

Poof! Just like Precision Shooting. I guess I can pretty much give up on cutting edge experimentation, manufacturing discussion, technical papers. Maybe I can find a good article on .270 vs. .30-'06 or how to pattern a shotgun (whatever those are), or something really juicy like how to clean my rifle.

If Rifle and Handloader pull this stunt I'm just going to step in front of a train.

Same here.

I am a life member with them you would think I would have heard something from them , not have to read it on the internet , wonder what they will do with our club house and shooting range

Guess I heard from them today,, anybody else get a letter from there Attorney?

Oliver88: I have not "heard from them" - I am life member #185 - is the contents of your letter from them private?
I guess what I am asking is are "we" being sued?
TIA for any information (again if its NOT private).

Looks like the lawyers are throwing out a few crumbs.

wonder what they did with the club house and shooting range ?

This news is a bummer. It would have been a bigger bummer years ago; but, a bummer nonetheless.

Oliver88: And others here, thank you for the explanation and links.
Sad that the V.H.A. has gone away.
I was a member since day one and previously with Varmint Hunters International (V.H.A.'s predecessor).
I got much useful information and knowledge from them over the years - including many tips on where to Hunt Varmints.
I would MUCH rather the V.H.A. resume its magazine and its club/association than receive a pittance of $2.00.
Maybe one of you "young" and energetic (I am "old" and tired!) Varminters might take up in the "void" left by the demise of V.H.A. and its magazine?
Again its sad anyway you look at the loss of this association.

here's what the letter looks like:

Got the letter yesterday.
I thought it odd about the $2.00 thing and how little of value there was after creditors are paid. Then I read the part about the letter being from The VHA attorney.

At the time that Jeff took over I remember reading the VHA magazine and the list of employees included his wife....I remember thinking that my membership dues seemed to be going so they and their friends would be able to hunt and play on my dime
Soon after that I thought the magazine went downhill

Totally agree with you; But Jackie(Jeff's wife) worked for VHA quite awhile before Jeff came on board.

It is sad as the magazine was very good and that the trend is magazines are dying

Got my settlement payment in the mail today anybody else get anything ?

So,did you file a claim? How much was the "settlement?
