Met and talked with mr. Jamison at SCI. Seemed like a decent and personable individual. Haven't seen much in the way of written pubs lately. Wondering if because of the WSM stuff he might be an unmentionable?

They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

I always liked his writings and saved several old magazines that I read now and then. I am sure it has something to do with his silence.
Good Shooting!

I never trust a man that keeps such a perfectly manicured mustache as he.

I don't trust men OR women who have wild hairs growing everywhichaway...under their noses, IN their noses, ON their noses, inside and outside their ears OR anywhere else on their faces...shows poor personal hygiene and probably other BAD habits.
What has facial hair have to do with what's between your ears?

He is always welcome. The trouble is, he's hanging out with Elvis in Reno and has no time for us.

Wondering if because of the WSM stuff he might be an unmentionable? Rick lives locally, I met him in one of the local gun shops a few months ago, I also found him decent and personable, I told him I missed his articles an asked him if he would have more in the future?, he said "they" want him to come back and write but he said he didn't know weather he would or not? I didn't ask him why?, I would like to see his writings in the future.

Rick was one of the more important technical influences on my early hobby career in shooting and handloading. Others have more than made up for the void he left, but I'd gladly read his stuff again if it came around.

One thing I always remember about Rick is he was a huge proponet of the 22-250. I was too at the time, until I discovered the 220 Swift! Ha!
Anyway, I really miss Rick's articles. Would love to have a collection of some of his more popular writings. Hope he returns to writing.

He was never arrogant which has become all too common with gun scribes these days. "I have hunted them X many times", "I have been shoitng the YYY for XX many years", "I have been doing that for X many years". Who gives a [bleep]? Just write.

The whole lawsuit against Winchester over the WSM's would have made it pretty hard for the Major shooting magazines to employee him. He got bashed pretty bad here for it as well.
I read quite a bit of his stuff and liked it.
Life's too short to hunt with an ugly gun.

Rick did a good deal for the industry itself in my opinion.
He was the guy I read the most of when I was starting in shooting, and I'd be reading again if he starts again.
Either that or he should go to work for Hornady - hell they've made more new cartridges than any rifle maker... and ya I know that Hornady made them with a gun maker or two, but not all of them.

'Ya think..Some writers think there holier than and it is totally impossible anyone else knows what there talking about,regardless of experiences. Rick Jamison and Brian Pierce remain at the top of my book.Brian is not afraid to write about an old timer that just does it and don't brag as in his Sourdough Ed article ending it with: It's hard to argue with success.
