I too just purchased one of Mike Walkers guns, a Remington model 37 with a beautiful piece of walnut. Not a safe queen because I’m sure Mike used it for most of his life but super accurate with his 8x Lyman scope.

I had never heard the name Mike Walker until today. A friend of mine just gave me a 1st edition of The Accurate Rifle signed by Warren Page.

“For Mike Walker,

Who has for many years been not only a friend but a guide and mentor though the benchrest maze.

It should be in a museum for benchrest if the was such a thing…

Mr. Walker was a great and long-time friend of my grandfather’s from the 1920’s until his death in the early 80’s. I met him several times as a child and young man and very fortunately inherited a .222 bench rest rifle that he built for my grandfather in the late 60’s. The trigger is superb.

I ran across this thread as a result of googling Mr. walker as my mother and I have been reviewing old photos and there were several with Mr. Walker, my grandfather, and their rifles from the 1930’s in the group.

While I have no recent connection, he was a valued friend of my grandfather, which, for me says a lot about the man.

This is one great ledgend of a man. He will surly be missed. Anyone that has lived as long as he did, and accomplished as many things as he did, I would truly consider truly blessed. RIP “Mike” Merle Walker.

Although I never met Mike, he was one of my mentors. I will always remember him as a prime architect in the accuracy department. We’re diminished!
