I designed that stock when I was consulting for them. When they decided they didn't need me anymore, they removed my name and it morphed into a slightly different geometry. Even when it wore my name, it was thicker in the wrist than I specified. JRS Well, you designed a good one. I did some thinning and shaping on this one until it suited me. What they now offer is OK, just not the same league as yours. They just thought they didn't need you anymore...  DF

Well, for what it's worth I used to own a Miata... I didn't know you were a hairdresser...  Seriously, I had drove a Miata once, and I have to admit that it really handled well! John

Book arrived today I do like that cover. Makes Jon look like an eccentric, cantankerous ole fart. But, I'm sure that doesn't fit him in the least...  DF

Got my copy a week ago, finished except for the bear chapter. Read a couple or so chapters each night. It was a good read, and I especially enjoyed the chapters on the old guard of gunwriters! I indeed recommend this book for anyone who likes a) guns, b) hunting, and c) reading!

Was reading on the beach today. Great writing, great stories. Trying not to read anymore tonight, so I have something to look forward to tomorrow.

Believe it or not, I know a bunch of Montana hunters who don't know how to quarter a big game animal--or don't want to. Instead they get it into a vehicle somehow, then drive it to a processor ASAP. Not a Montanan, but certainly in the “ or don’t want to” category. Bad enough field dressing in frostbite weather. Happy Trails

"After a while the camaraderie of good people becomes as important as the hunt itself." From the photo caption on page 107. Truer words have not been printed.

Enjoyed the book very much. Took my time reading it, chapter or two per evening to extend the experience. Will have to look in my reloading room as I believe I have a JRS stock for a LA 700 that needs a home.

I agree and it makes me smile.
I sure don't know but I sorta think JRS was being comical.

Just finished reading the book. Great read. I’m not sure I agree with his best rifle musings. I’d loved to have hunted a tenth of the exotic hunts he’s been on.
I prefer classic.

DF I see what you did there - little play on Elmer Keith’s book. Kinda funny. Appreciate original humor as much as I do good writing (whether I agree or not). Glad to see you around JRS.
