Another GIANT in the sport of benchrest gone. Hell I remember buying 80 grain moly’s from Walt when I was shooting service rifle back in the late 90’s.

When my parents lived in Mesa, I would send them to his house for my order. He and his wife were operating out of his garage. My father did not know anything about bench rest, but always had a great conversation with he and his wife. Great person. What a loss.
