I'd take JOC'S 30-06
Okay, then I'll take his custom .375 H&H....
Actually I wouldn't mind owning any of rifles used by JOC, Keith, or many of those other 'Old Timers'....
Speaking of JOC, and although it might be a little 'off topic', the below is kind of an interesting picture;
Writers at First Winchester Seminar, Nilo Farms, Illinois in January, 1960
This group is: Top Row, L to R; Bill Edwards(Guns), John Amber(Gun Digest), Pete Kuhlhoff(Argosy), Warren Page(Field&Stream), Jack O’Connor(Outdoor Life), Elmer Keith(Guns). Bottom Row, L to R; Ray Ovington(Guns&Game), Larry Koller(Guns&Hunting), Tom Siatos(Guns&Ammo), Pete Brown(Sports Afield), Jack Seville(Sports Afield).
Bet you won't find many pictures of JOC and Keith standing so close together and actually smiling......
