January 2019 Rifle Magazine
This is a typically good issue of a good magazine, but has included a reprint of the very first issue from 1969, and has some very interesting articles, including an article from the original issue on the Ruger M77 coming out as well as the M16 / AR-15, and comments on the recently enacted 1968 gun control act.

Re: January 2019 Rifle Magazine
Doc,
I've been getting Rifle and Handloader for probably 30 years and I recently dropped my subscription. The magazines were getting be too thin for my liking and too many rehashes....but they might be Ok for a younger guy.--6

Six, 99.9 percent of the population is us younger guys. We sometimes like to see stuff like what you dinny sours saw all those millenia ago.

Re: January 2019 Rifle Magazine
I get Rifle too. Yeah it's gotten thinner but I still like it. However I do get riled up over the postcards and the advertising but that offsets the costs.

Re: January 2019 Rifle Magazine
OK Piller....I relent. At least I can look at Terry Murbach as an elder. -------speaking of Terry, I was going through an old Handloaders Digest from the sixties/seventies and there he was, a young man.---6
Re: January 2019 Rifle Magazine
I get a bit bugged by the rehashes, but then I do consider that there are youngsters out there for whom it all new. My only problem is when they get it wrong. Seems some of the "younger" scribes fail to read what the older folks have already learned.

Yeah, that is what I likes about having Issue No. 1 there in its entirety. What a piece of history. Harvey 'Wasp' Donaldson writing about his first woodchuck hunt was awesome.

Rehashes beat the hell out of stories on the 6.5 Creedmoor...
Re: January 2019 Rifle Magazine
I can't count the number of times cartridges like the 30 WCF, 30-06, 38 spl, etc. have been prounounced dead and worthless in the prescence of some new whiz bang cartridge. Remember the the Ultra & Short Magnum craze a decade or so back? When was the last time you saw one of those guns or a box of ammo for them on sale?
That's what riles me up about gun-zines and gun writers....... when they cross the line from reporting and investigation & slide down the slope into shilling and propaganda.

P.S. Sorry for my momentary outburst of curmudgeonly opinion. I've put the soap box away.

Even if it may have been Curmudgeonly Opinion, it was true.
