Some BR Icons

[jamesdmock]

Since the picture of Dusty was so well received, I will post some more. As a writer for PS magazine for ten years, I was privileged to meet many of the great ones. The two here are true icons and we that enjoy accuracy owe much to them. They are Mike Walker and Allie Euber.

Thank you for posting. I used Allie Euber's bullets for the last few years and spoke with him
but never met him. Thank you!

Shot with Allie and Lee a bunch of times.
Allie was the only guy I ever saw that was good for about 30 sighters on each target.

Yea, he and Lester Bruno did not spare the sighters. Once, Lee Euber, Allie Euber, Billy Stevens, and Bart Sauter had a heavy varmint team. Well, they were in the hunt to win it and Allie was the last to shoot. He shot sighter after sighter and finally got off the last shot. Billy, being a man who always gets to the point told Allie, "Any one of those 25 sighters would have been better than that last record shot."

jamesdmock, Thank you for your contributions to Precision Shooting magazine. I miss the magazine. Liked seeing the phone numbers for the article authors. No I never called one. James I always stop and read your posts. Again thank you.

Do you guys happen to know approx when Mike Walker left Remington?
What about Mr. Stickel?

That's a good story. The only 30 br bullets I ever competed with until this past fall were Allies. When I first won a 500 yard groundhogs match with the 30br another famous bullet maker sent me a couple hundred of his bullets. I opened the box, they were pretty. I though why would I bother with these when I win with Eubers I never shot them but they did serve a good purpose. I gave them to a new shooter struggling to get started. He used them and now has turned into a regular. So that good deed by a bullet maker was rewarded.

Don't sell yourself short, passing them on was an equal good deed. Nothing better than helping a new shooter.

That is Jimmy Stekl. Jimmy is still shooting. I check on him from time to time. He is a great friend. I don't know when Mike left, but bought 2 of his rifles from him.
