Steyr Zephyr II .22 Long Rifle
Every rifleman’s gun rack should hold at least one serious, high-quality .22. That’s not an exact quote, but it’s as close as possible, drawing on memory going back 50 years. Colonel Townsend Whelen wrote those words, and they have stuck with me despite the ravages of time.

The Truth About Groups
Sometimes I think gun writers have over the decades, done a great disservice to American riflemen by emphasizing shooting groups. The truth is shooting groups can be a great aid in marksmanship, or it can serve no purpose at all. The difference is in how shooting groups is viewed by the rifleman.

No serious argument can be waged against the reality that a rifleman with real talent, whether natural or hard-earned through training, can shoot exceptionally well at targets of unknown distances with about any rifle and cartridge combination, given a little time to work out any minor kinks.

British Pattern 1914 .303
When the British entered World War I, their army actually wanted to transition to a more modern rifle than its Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) chambered for the likewise obsolete .303 British cartridge, which originated in the late 1880s as a black-powder cartridge.

Mossberg MVP Patrol 5.56 NATO
Shortly after Mossberg announced the MVP (Mossberg Varmint Predator) rifle in 2011, I was invited to spend three days in central Oregon shooting ground squirrels and hunting coyotes with several model variations chambered in 5.56 NATO and .204 Ruger. I fired in excess of 1,500 rounds through several rifles that were accurate and very interesting.
