The Writer Who Spent 40 Years Attacking America's Favorite Rifle

Two American gun writers. Forty years of columns. One argument that outlived them both. Jack O'Connor was the Shooting Editor at Outdoor Life from 1941 to 1972. Elmer Keith wrote for American Rifleman and Guns & Ammo from 1925 until the year before his death. For four decades, the two men wrote for opposing magazines, and in every deer camp in America, readers picked sides. This is the story of the longest feud in American gun writing. Why it started. Why it never ended. And why the argument is still running tonight, in a deer camp somewhere, between two hunters who have never heard either of the two names.
