That was right around 30 years ago. Craig Boddington was still editing the magazine then, and hired me. We'd already known each other for a decade!

I have stacks of magazines going back years with JB articles. He’s also answered many of my questions in PM’s. Thanks John.

If you don't have it, my personal favorite is the
"Anything but bolts " article ( Handloader/Rifle?)
if you can find a copy.
I need to find another myself after loaning it
so many times. Needs more tape to hold it
together

Always trust what John has to say.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Reminded of a article of his about "other bolt actions".
Discussed the merits of a-bolts, rugers and CZs. Great one.

If you wrote it, it's an article I'm interested in reading. I appreciate your availability to answering questions members have as well.

Even though I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm a dick.
