I always enjoyed reading the Capstick book, he was a good storyteller and made for an enjoyable read.

I view outdoor writers as those who write about hunts and adventures and gun writers in two separate categories as far as expectations. From an outdoor writer I enjoy the tale of the hunt and really enjoy reading the few who can make a person feel like they are on the trip. O'connor had that ability and to a degree so did Capstick.

Gunwriters however fall into another care category - the ones who write from a technical aspect which I enjoy, then there are those who write for the gunrags who are just parroting the line that the manufacturer puts out. I view the majority of gunwriters the same as I do used car salesmen - they are just telling you what they think you want to hear rather than telling the whole truth.
