I reckon so much has changed over the past 50 years that neither O’Conner nor Elmer Keith would recognise the sport/equipment. The accuracy that we expect and get from off the shelf rifles and ammunition is far superior to that which they both had to use. I dare say that both would be stunned at just how accurate a Tikka T3 performs out of the box.

Then as to long range hunting (oxymoron?) and their opinions. What may have been considered long range then may well not be now. And what we consider long range today they may describe as ridiculous and irresponsible. Not surprising really. Those old barstards were using scopes like 4x Leopolds and their range finders were guesstimates .

Imagine their response to seeing laser rangefinders, computers with ballistic charts and Kahles and or NF sniper scopes in action.

Who knows….perhaps they may even agree, for once, that things sure have changed.
