Saw the mount at his museum in Apple Valley 20 or so years ago. It was a monster! Roy was quite a big game hunter.

With $1,000.00 I could load up on stuff I want today.

What is interesting about these old gun magazines is that they were INTERESTING.  They had articles on a wide variety of topics.  Virtually every gun magazine now consists of articles about the latest AR-15 clone and the latest 1911 clone.  After waxing poetic about the wonderul "new" gun they almost always end the article by saying  "all the parts interchange with the originals."  Nowadays if you buy a gun magazine once a year generally you have not missed anything other than eleven issues with more AR and 1911 articles.

I agree 100%, I used to look forward to gun magazines now it's like, ehhh...whatever. I subscribe to a few of them because they're so cheap! I keep in the bathroom reading room
