I remember vacationing in Big Bear during Old Miner days in the 1950's, Colonel Jeff Cooper had retired to there from the Marine Corps and set up "Leatherslap Contests" which was the start of IPSC and the real Combat Pistolcraft concept. Prior to Cooper, military/police/FBI/etc trained to shoot pistols ONE HANDED, and it was Cooper who pointed out how fuckass stupid that was, as well as showing everyone he ABSOLUTE SUPERIORITY of the Colt 1911 for self defense.
Barflewk, that's a terrible thing to say about someone you say you revere. It is possible to enjoy life even when you're old and not your former self.
Jeff was the Godfather of the shooting sports. I stumbled upon. To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth. I wish I could have met this man. He will forever be a legend.

I have a Steyr Scout in .308 with the scout Leupold 2.5x scope.
It's one hell of a nice rig.

Cooper is not only the author of modern pistolcraft, he is also
a FANTASTIC writer. And not just about guns. His topics are quite varied and I cannot recommend exploring them highly enough.
