Dude get a grip and perhaps some perspective, its a gun forum and we talk about and show pictures of guns here.
I have spoken to Jack's son on various occasions and I can assure you Jacks family is quite pleased in which his name and integrity of this rifle was presented.. Your welcome to call him at the Jack O'Connor Center in Lewiston Idaho and yea, I am a member there too. I didn't just walk off the playground like you so arrogantly suggested to push a hidden agenda or inflate my ego. Here is a idea,...If you dont like my "interpretation" of the book in question, how about reading it for your self and then come back with some educated stance on my "interpretation". At least this way you would know the passage and context it was used.
My "pretty rifle" you sarcastically took pop shots at are devastated from your lack of disapproval.
You have truly redefined the phrase "keyboard commander" with now adding your physiological insight and intentions I might be spinning to further a hidden agenda and ego..
What's the color of the sun on your planet?? If your done now and "unimpressed", maybe we can put our tin foil hats back on and get this thread back on track.

Why are we even talking about bench rest shooting??? This has nothing to do with the OP. Forget about bench rest guns, it doesn't apply to "all things being equal." Bench rest standards are a game, the context was regarding hunting rifles that are mobile and lighter in weight. Hunting rifles are generally tested at 100yards as every publication has done in the past.

So empirical evidence is patting yourself on the back now????? ...I see, so the "keyboard commando" rules are....we make claims without any evidence to back it up and when we do back them up, we are bragging and patting ourself on the back.

I would like to apologies to our other forum members for the way this thread has totally gone off topic......Its inital intent was clear, strait forward and non self serving regardless of some accusation. The topic was addressed in detail by one of the most respected and published gun legends from the past and thought it was interesting and wanted to pass it along.
