Thanks for posting that.
Finn has been gone for a while now, but I re-read his books every year or so. I always come away thinking that he wrote everything that needs to be said about hunting rifles, and that if I find myself too far from what he was thinking, then I'm overlooking something important. His writing wasn't as elegant as O'Connor's or as forceful as Cooper's, but he had at least as much experience as either of them and none of the ego.
Many years ago, I wrote him a letter asking about his experience with the Scout rifle. His reply was printed on a dot-matrix printer. The pages had separated along the perforations, but he taped them together, which got the job done. THAT was Finn Aagaard in a nutshell.
