And the cHeetah too, no? I always thought he was a pretty fair replacement for Jack O'Conner in the magazine.
I purchased a 22 Cheetah Mk II 9 years ago. It has a Ruger Mark II 243 action with a Remington 22-250 bull barrel. Trigger pull is 12 ounces. I learned a lot about this design reported to have been created by Jim Carmichael and Roy Huntington. Resizing 243 brass produced a lot of split necks. Thanks to following JB's advice in his books and articles, using Hornady brass and annealing....that problem went away! It is now a super accurate rifle with sub 1/2 accuracy. I only bought it because of its origin as I've been a fan of Carmichael since the mid 70's and JB since late 90's....plus its probably the only custom rifle I'll ever own. These guys give us a lot of useful info!
