O’Connor, Kieth, Jordan and several other gun writers who are no longer with us, actually lived what they wrote about. We are seeing the end of an era. Now it seems any buddy with a cowboy hat and a pair of aviator sun glasses can be a gun writer. A plus is a beard.
I’ve most of O’Connor’s books and still use his 270 & 30/06 loads. I never had the 7x57 fever, and hate goats & sheep.
My favorite O’Connor quote is in one of his books. The chapter on Scopes, he allows their are two kinds of people who take apart scopes. Professionals and fools. I set out immediately to prove him correct.
