There are a lot out gun guys on YouTube and such, but here are three of my favorite. The common theme with all three is that they each have the perfect combination of expertise, willingness to share their knowledge, humility, and a true love of their craft:

1. United States of Guns (USOG) - has probably bought and sold more classic rifles than i've ever laid eyes on, but a true joy to watch and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to rifle history. - https://www.youtube.com/@UnitedStatesOfGuns

2. GunBlue390 - a gentle old soul with the teaching style of your favorite grandfather: yet clearly an expert on rifle construction, accuracy, metallurgy, reloading, and other sound fundamentals of firearms ownership and sportsmanship. I used to think I knew alot about guns and reloading until I started watching his channel, and there was oh so much more to learn. :) - https://www.youtube.com/@GunBlue490

3. Tom River - Simple Living - Tom is just...well...Tom. A enjoyable and educational guy to listen to on the topics of guns, hunting, shooting, and outdoor life. The kind of guy you could sit around the campfire or on the front porch with and talk for hours. - https://www.youtube.com/@TomRiverSimpleLiving

PS - honorable mention to Erik Cortina for his YouTube videos that have been so enlightening to me on the topics of precision shooting and reloading.

I don't watch a lot of gun related videos. I'm more of a "read it" sort, and I prefer actual magazines and books. Even so, for either online content or in print form, I am a fan of Dave Petzal. I don't always agree (though I do more often than not) but 1) I like his straightforward style, 2) I like his acerbic humor, and 3) as I age I become more and more of a curmudgeon each year: I identify with his point of view.
 
Ross Seyfried ......... not really "on line," but he knows more about the firearms I love than any other living human being.

It helps Erik is from Texas, he is putting out a lot of good interviews.
 
Another vote for Nathan Foster. I’ve brought his books and have also used his bedding products. Wow that made a difference to how accurate my rifle is. Yeah he’s a bit one sided with all his long range talk. But for go to info and fixing problems in the field….shoot techniques, rifle accuracy, and cutting through marketing hype pretty cool.
I do like his work on bullet wound channeling. What he says on the lead v copper debate is refreshing.
 
Looks like I’ll need to book a few weeks off so I can get through all this new reading and video material!

I will have to check out those online guys, always willing to listen to good advice.
 
Joe D'Alessandro at Realguns.com. Sort of a witty, quirky, fun style of writing, but does a lot of in depth detailed writing on firearms and ammunition. This was a free website for years, but a few years ago went to $29 per year and is a bargain.

Randy Wakeman, who publishes on ChuckHawks.com and also on his own website, RandyWakeman.com and even Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/c/RandyWakeman
Randy is one of the few gunwriters that will call out something that is junk or has a lousy trigger.

Ah yes, Paul is a great one.

He is about the only one I can sit through out of the bigger channels. Much of them are just big infomercials now.

I like nutnfancy in smaller doses. Also taofledermaus, although their channel is more experimental shotgun rounds, still good imo.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
