Mine arrived here in Southern Ontario today. I agree that the cover looks somewhat garish, perhaps even tacky. On another note, and I may be pilloried here for saying this: Ross Seyfreid's article is NOT about falling block rifles, it is about a Westley Richards, take-down bolt-action rifle and his hunt for a bull elk with it. Our magazine was originally titled "The Double Gun Journal". The title was changed a few years ago to include single shot rifles. I am told, tho not on any official level, that Ross had a lot to do with that change. Now he is writing an article on bolt-action rifles. What will be next, a photo of the latest "wonder-nine" on the cover, a la Guns and Ammo?
Don't get me wrong, I think that Ross Seyfreid is the finest writer of our generation on the subject of single-shot and double rifles. The Westley Richards which is the subject of his article is a wonderful thing. But in my opinion, it has no place in THE DOUBLE GUN AND SINGLE SHOT JOURNAL. 'Nuff said !!
