Description:
USED in great condition one 10 rnd mag Leopold 3x9 it comes with original box and papers. You may have noticed that we have a lot of rimfire material in this issue. One of the greatest rimfire rifles of all time has to be the classic Ruger 10/22 semiautomatic rifle. One of the greatest rimfire shooting feats of all time was accomplished by John “Chief AJ” Huffer in 1987. He was 50 years old, and he used 10/22 rifles for the deed.
John Huffer was born on Christmas Day 1937 in the Florence Crittenton Home for Unwed Mothers in Peoria, Illinois, and given the name Clarence Moore. He was the child of a Cherokee father and a Menominee mother. Six months later, he was adopted by Charles and Dorothy Huffer of Urbana, Illinois, and renamed John Huffer. He graduated from Urbana High School and attended the University of Illinois, where he was a member of the ROTC rifle team.
Before that, during seventh and eighth grades, John participated every Wednesday night in shooting .22 rifles at the local armory with the Junior NRA rifle team. Shooting a box of 50 rounds each Wednesday evening, John shot his way to the level of “expert” in prone, sitting, kneeling, and offhand positions.
Later, as a teenager, John was inspired to try aerial shooting after watching the antics of Annie Oakley in a movie about Buffalo Bill’s Wild West traveling show. With that, he found his calling.
At 18, John joined the U.S. Marine Corps and relocated to Barstow, California. Among his many activities at the time, John shot on the Barstow Base rifle team and also took up bodybuilding. He excelled at both.
