Looks like old Col Cooper is not long for this world.

I didn't always agree with his views, but i have enjoyed reading his stuff for years.

His book "The Art Of The Rifle" is by far the best thing of its type.

The earliest book of his that I have was published in 1958 !! He has made tremendous contributions to the shooting world . When he leaves he will be missed.

As writing style was not really my cup to tea, but he is with out doubt one of the "Greats".

I hope he finds relief from his pain and my best wishes and thoughts go out to him and his family...

He hunted moose here in norway in the 80`s with his .350 Rem Mag Scourt rifle, very few had heard about what a Scout rifle was then, but the onenes who devoured US magazines had.

He got a moose on his 3 day out of five day hunt,and he wrote a little about in one his last pages in G&A some years ago. In that he wrote that everythinh went perfect on his hunt as conserning with the weather etc.

He also wrote about the hunt in G&A before but i have just read what the Norwegian journalist/gunbug wrote and that was great read.

He is one of the few racists who knows proper grammar.

Thomas Jefferson had impeccable grammar.

He was a friend of Stuka pilot Ulrich Rudel.

Does it give you pleasure to demean this wonderful man? Did you ever meet him, know him, or spend time with him? I did, and your insult is only a reflection on your lack of character and proper breeding.

The world lost a good man when Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Cooper died. Too few men today are like him

He died a few weeks ago.
