Idared,
Couldn't aggree more. Change is inevitable, and the world won't stop spinning just because R.S. no longer writes for Wolfe. I enjoyed the hell out of his coverage of oddball guns, and will miss his articles, but he ain't the first, nor will he be the last to cover such things. He had his faults as well. He blasted the .458 Win Mag based on experience back when it was a problem. He also deemed the .340 Weatherby as all the gun needed for Alaskan Brown Bear, based on shooting one sleeping bear at fairly long range.
Glad to hear Mike Venturino is now on the Wolfe payroll. I bought other rags at the news stand just to read his stuff. Now I won't have to. Anyone who does a chapter on the .40-90 Sharps Bottleneck(in his excellent book Shooting Buffalo Rifles of the West) is OK in my book. I must admit to a little predjudice, 'cause I have one!
