[QUOTE="blackco, post: 142792, member: 7356"] As sad as these statments were/are I can't say I am really suprized. I have huge respect for MANY gun writers, but I also know that some are driven by who is paying the bills. I don't want to offend anyone but no one can tell me that if Jack O'Conner had been hired by Remington instead of Winchester, the R700 would now be the "hunters rifle" and the 280Rem would have all but killed the 270. The masses take what these guys say as gospil truth and never even think about it. Several times inferior rounds have been successful over better rounds because of who is pushing/using/writing about them. 243/6mm Rem (Warren Page), 270 vs. 280 (O'Conner), 32 Win Spcl vs. 30-30 (don't remember). I guess what I am saying is that these guys are human and they make mistakes; but when you make a living in the publice eye and you make a mistake this big your career is over. Also, like was said before; he nevered apologized and he never addressed twisting a LRH's words for his own use. Just like with our beloved guns: once you pull the trigger on a statement like that, you can't call the bullet back. [/QUOTE]
