hunting magazines

[jon lynn]

I used to subscribe to RIFLE, but the gun rags grew old. When I noticed they were all jumping on the bandwagon, endorsing what the sponsors told them to.

But my favorite writer by far is John Barsness (& his wife Eileen Clark), followed by his old boss Craig Boddington. But a lot of my other 'must readers' just went............weak? When they recomend a Tasco World Class, after the move to China (before the Bushnell take over), or phrase the Remington 710 as being a great rifle, I decided I would just stick with y'all here at HC for all my hunting advice.

But I do like John's idea of a well placed shot, in a moderate caliber (ie 7x57 or .257bob), over the oompf of shoulder busters. And his realistic 'scope test' that he does, and I have read articles where he flat out writes that such-and-such is a suck brand.

But I do not subscribe to anything any more...........
