About the Authors Frank de Haas and Mark de Haas, a father and son team, joined their talents and skills in putting together this book. As a team they have done much rifle shooting, participated in com- petitive matches together, hunted together, designed and built rifles together and wrote a few articles together. Together they were also teacher and student, and as they grew older the father and son often traded roles, learning from each other. Frank is well known among riflemen for the many articles he has written about shooting, gunsmithing, rifles and rifle cartridges which have appeared in the leading gun magazines, and for his five other published gun books. His principal interest in firearms has been in rifles, and this field narrowed down to single shot rif_es and bolt action rifles, in that order of priority. Now semicretired, he has the time to indulge in something he has always been interested in—that of building firearms of his own design and describing to others how they are made, as he has done with four of them in this book. ‘Mark practically cut his teeth on his father’s workbench. Under his father’s supervision he began target shooting and hunting at an early age and became very proficient at both sports. He was taught to make every shot count. Watching and helping his father in their home workshop he learned how to mend a broken stock, how to thread, chamber and fit a barrel to an action, how to use a file to make and fit small parts, how to install a crosshair reticule in a scope and how to shape, finish and checker a stock. He was schooled in ballistics and reloading. He spent four years in the U.S. Marine Corp with three of those years spent as a member of the Ms rifle team and one year in Viet Nam as a sniper instructor. The highlight of his competitive shooting came in 1966, at the age of 24, when at the National Matches in Camp Perry he won the 1,000 yard Leech Cup match. After his tour of Marine duty he attended South Dakota State University and graduated with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is still shooting competitively.
