He was. But back when I was 15 years old (thats 61 years ago) I was ready to graduate from my 94 Winchester to something else, I wrote him asking his advice. I told him what I was going to do with it, and how much money I had saved. He suggested a Rem. 722 in .257 Roberts,Weaver K4, and handloading. I bought it and told him so. Not long after a package arrived from Rock Chucker Bullet Swage, containing a press and a set of dies and some recipes. Courtesy of Jack O'Connor. My Dad had that gun restocked for me by the Hottenstein Brothers in a beautiful piece of Tiger Tail Maple. Since we are Canadian, Maple Leaves were carved into the PG and forend. Barrel was cut to 20 inches. Stock was a Mannlicher style. I used it well for over 50 years until it was stolen from my home in Colorado...
