Found this and just wanted to share since the blog is no more, I just copy pasted from another forum (benchrestcentral), but felt it was good to share. Sorry for digging up this old thread, but I found a way to access the articles from German Salazars Blog "The Rifleman's Journal": Just copy...

I hope somewhere up there, he is shooting in the morning and watching a great Baseball game for which he really loved to do in the evening.

The shooting community has lost a truly wonderful person. German gave without asking for anything in return. The knowledge he passed on to new shooters was amazing. R.I.P. My Friend.

Sad. Tragic. Devastating news...



I considered German a very important, cherished friend for many many years. We would meet when he came to California to be with his daughter. Whenever I was in Phoenix area I would visit he and Lucy, his wife.

I remember going to a car show with German right before COVID and seeing German's delight in his new Corvette.

This is just terrible.

I met through his original forum, and then his Rifleman's Journal website. German contributed many articles from the very beginning of our website launched as 6mmBR.com. I think it's quite likely this Forum would not exist had German not guided me in the early days.

This is very tragic and sad.

German and I at SW Nationals in 2014:

Some more photos of my good friend German Salazar. So sad we've lost him...







Be grateful for the knowledge he passed on to others, and his encouragement to me when I started a Forum way back in 2004.

I never met German face to face but his information wasn’t hindered by that. He was a gold mine of information.
