I think a lot of fans of American classic doubles are likely somewhat put off by the fact that Zutz didn't much care for those guns, other than the Model 21. But as far as gun writers go, Zutz walked the walk. He was a pretty fair shot at both targets and game--although another reason some may not care for him much is that he was not a dog guy. Did a lot of dogless bird hunting.

That being said, there was a stretch of time when, if you read anything about shotguns, especially doubles (pre-DGJ and the rest of the "niche" magazines), you were going to be reading Zutz or Brister. Or perhaps a young up and comer named McIntosh.
