Chuck Hawks
Any of you guys go on his website or read anything he wrote ? What's your take on him?
I personal like his writings and agree with the majority of them.Some of stuff reminds me of Jack O'Connor's writings and believes.

I have read a few things from his website. He does not write all of the articles, but from what I have seen the information from his site is reasonable (if not deeply technical). Articles from his site often pop up on google searches. Seems like he deals with a lot of general information, and does a fairly good job. "Jack of All Trades" I guess.

Jerry,
Chuck Hawks is not very well thought of by the bloggers on Huntingnet.com.
My impressions are that they don’t think he is very knowledgeable.
It seems that they think he is influenced by the manufactures (money, equipment, etc.) he speaks highly of.
I brought up his name a few times and I got an ear full of, “what does he know……………….”.
I was going to say something to you about using him as a reference, but I figured it won’t take long……………..and you’ll see for yourself.

He hates Tikka's for good reason.
I think he is very knowledgeable. My only issue is when I read his reviews of more recent firearms and optics it's hard for me to believe he isn't being paid by the manufacturers.
I use his recoil table as a reference several times a year.
