Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Rick Jamison personna no grata?

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?

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.

Do a search. There are volumes of posts on this topic in the archives.

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.

Good Post Steve! I've been wondering about E.

De nada, Se�or Marea Carmes�.

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.

Well stated.

Allways enjoyed him as well,he wrote well and easily read. Magnum man

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.

yep

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.

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.

Especially that JB guy, always going on and on about himself, cant even figure out what the article is about half the time!

and you are a "smoothie"

'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.
