Enjoyed reading your post JB and the ensuing comments. Like many here I have read quite a few of Jack O'Connor's magazine articles and books and certainly his writing influenced my taste in rifles to some degree. Thinking back, also recall how we would refer to Jacks writings when sitting around the fire after a days hunt and talking about our "dream" rifles that we were planning to build. Hope I get an opportunity to visit the Hunting Heritage & Education Center in Lewiston, gotta add that one to my list.
