Elmer, little bulshitartist in a big hat,, Oconner, yep more of the same, they could write a fancy line
Well, you never read Elmer.
Elmer sold out to the advertisers. I lost all respect for the man when he wrote that the post-64 M70 was better than the pre-64. That post-64 was my first centerfire and a post is exactly what it handled like. I'd turned down a mint pre-war M70 from my neighbor for the same kind of money. Elmer's 600 yard wounded mule deer shot with his M29 .44 Magnum read like a stretch for me also. Jack's book "The Rifle" was a good read from the library.
Getting a little gray around the muzzle myself, so a few months back I photographed all my guns and cataloged them with a description and gave each of my sons a copy asking which of any they would like someday. Crickets. I'm afraid their idea of getting outdoors is mowing the lawn or jumping in the Polaris 1000 cc UTV and raising dust.
