The firearms community has lost another good one. Sure did enjoy watching his shows over the many years.

Sad to see he passed… I saw shooting USA a few months ago and his kids were on there, he did a small bit and was looking rough…

Yeah, He had been looking frail. His son John has been on the show for years now.

I've been watching Jim for many years, sad to see him go at only 77. We each owe a death...

Man I remember watching Jim in the mid 90’s thinking he has the greatest job in the world working for shows MotorTrend/Car and Driver along with American Shooter and Shooting USA.

Wow! Thanks for posting that article. Last time I tuned in to Shooting USA, I didn't see him and thought the worst. I watched American Shooter back in the early 90's when it was carried by TNT (The Nashville Network), if I recall correctly.
Back then, would say ".....and keep 'em in the X Ring". That was back when the late, great Bob Munden was a regular segment.
RIP Jim Scoutten.

I don't care for John "Sideburns" Scoutten.
