Building an English Gentleman’s Rifle with Bill Lewis

Gary Lewis Outdoorsman

We sip the coffee and tell the story of John Nosler sitting down with a Springfield 03-A3 to shoot a minute-of-angle at 1,000 yards. With a rifle he had never fired before. Bill Lewis was one of the founding members of the Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association park we call COSSA, a premier gun range located 24 miles east of Bend, Oregon. I worked with Bill Lewis at Nosler Inc. in 1997 and he was a big help in writing the book John Nosler Going Ballistic. Bill’s fifth grandfather was the Hudson’s Bay Company explorer and surveyor Peter Fidler. Bill is in the process of building a rifle similar to the one his grandfather carried between 1789 and 1820.
