		Hathcock has become a legendary figure and hero to generations of marksmen, and it is only fitting that a rifle made as a tribute to Hathcock appear on the cover of this issue.
		Hathcock was discharged from the Marine Corps less than 4 months from retirement because some bean counter saw that the government could save a few bucks if they screwed Hathcock over.
