I've always wondered why LL Hepburn wasn't a team shooter later on? From what I've read he was a very good shooter. Was it perhaps his leaving Remington, since they supplied half the rifles? Maybe John Marlin wasn't keen on him shooting for or with a Remington after going to work for Marlin? If so, then wondered why he didn't compete with a Marlin Ballard?


Barring financial considerations or other of life's curve balls, he was born in 1832.  He would be in his mid 40s; that time of life when precision eyesight begins to fail. A major factor in 1000 yard shooting.  Cry
