Yes it was, I remember Jim vividly over 25 years ago on Shooting USA (it's where I learned about the Smith and Wesson 342 Airlite ti and the Philadelphia Deringer) and he did a few reviews on Motortrend.

I'm 71 and have watched this man for decades on various stages and he does have the voice, I haven't seen him for quite a time. Kinda been outta sight.

Bob munden, Tom knapp, now Jim. I grew up watching all these guys from my teenage years. Now all three are RIP. Thankfully Jerry Miculek is still kicking, but he's up there in age too. Wow

I watched him at my grandparents house as well since they were the ones who had cable tv back then. It fueled my life long obsession with firearms and their history.

Jim Scoutten will never be forgotten.

As a 55 y/o man, let me tell you, I have many fond memories watching Jim's show. What a great man and he will be missed.

I watched Jim and Shooting USA for years. Thanks for the memories!

A southing voice you would know anywhere. A very nice tribute to a great man.

Sorry to hear of his passiñhg 😢

I too am just hearing of Mr Scouten’s passing. We enjoyed him on the Outdoor Channel, and my late husband had the pleasure to meet him years ago. Mr Scoutten was and is an icon to those of us who love the sport and appreciate the intricacy and beauty of firearms. He such a neighborly way about him and seemed to be ever the gentleman. RIP.

I remember when he used to narrate the automotive/hot rod shows on TNN. Very distinctive voice.

I remember watching Jim's show. Sad to hear of his passing. RIP Mr. Scoutten...Thanks for the memories.

It wasn't a completed week without Shooting USA and Jim. His iconic voice and great humor will be missed. May He provide comfort to his family. God keep, Jim...

Thanks for the memories Jim. Keep it in the 10-ring!

The Legend, The GOAT, there isn't enough words to describe this Great Man who will be truly missed. RIP Mr. Jim. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed week. LORD GOD Bless your family and stay vigilant.

RIP, I always liked catching Jim on tv.

Very sorry to hear about your dad John, he will be sorely missed.!

That’s a real nice tribute to Jim. He is missed, and he will be remembered.

The unmistakable voice of an honorable man. Steadfast in his dedication to his family, his country, the shooting sports and the 2nd Amendment. He will be greatly missed but, his legacy will live on through his family, friends and those in the community that he has touched. Thank you Mr Jim Scouten and to his family for allowing us to be a part of honoring a truly great man. 😢 🇺🇸

Jim's name will ALWAYS be synonymous with ShootingUSA. Rest in Peace, Jim.

My heart goes out to your family. I watch your show on The Our door Channel every Wednesday night.

Jim gave my Son and I a chance to show our stuff. A Heart Felt Thank You Jim! And May you Rest in Peace. My Sincerest Condolences and Best Wishes from Montana! M.H.

I remember watching Jim on TNN with the old “American Shooter” show. Where did time go😢

Him and TRUCKS! with Stacy were the main reasons I watched TNN. For a kid growing up in anti-gun Canada American Shooter was the ultimate contraband!

rest in peace sir. From all of us who grew up watching shooting usa through the decades, the best "enabler" when it came to firearms.

First I herd of him passing. Prayers for his family and friends. I loved watching him and I learned so much from him.

One of many fond childhood memories hood memories watching him on the weekend with his very distinctive voice. RIP.

When I watched Jim, I felt like I was listening to “the adult in the room”, the “authority” on any topic he discussed. Jim was “the gentleman” of the gun industry.

Jim is missed by all. Loved his distinctive voice. He will always be remembered.

RIP Jim, you're missed I always enjoyed watching Shooting USA with him, he was a class act.

Jim, Tom, Byron, and Bob were always on our TV when I was in high school. I also watched Jim on car and driver tv.

The OG GunTuber, even when he was on TV. It was a good time anytime he was on the screen😊

RIP The voice of shooting sports. A great ambassador for those who enjoy freedom!

I was fortunate enough to meet Jim Scoutten back in 1993 at a Grand Master's Tournament in western Illinois. He was friendly and a gentleman. He was a wonderful representative for the shooting sports. My condolences to the family.

Sorry for your loss John. He was an absolute legend. He will be greatly missed.

R. I. P. Brother you will be missed.

I grew up watching this man. He will be dearly missed.

I also like the car show he was doing25 or so years ago absolutely classic guy gentleman he will be missed.

I grew up watching Jim on the show each week before joining the Military. That was back before the days of the Internet, and I learned a lot about the shooting sports that I never would have heard of otherwise. RIP Mr. Scoutten!!!

He is now in the place where Bob mundon and Tom Knapp are. Someone once said, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die, follow your, and you'll never go wrong.

Missing that voice🥰

I watched Jim for Many Many years!! There were tears in my eyes when I heard about his passing. He will always be remembered and loved by many.

Met Jim and John when Jim invited me to tour their studio. Introduced me to everyone there. No rush at all. Jim and his son John are class acts and produce high quality videos. Let’s all support their channel as much as possible!😊

I remember watching shooting USA on cable television back in the early 2000s. I was still a teenager living with my mother when she was still alive and I always looked forward every week to watching the show, and I even recorded quite a few episodes on VHS. I specifically remember at the end of one of the episodes, Jim was shooting an AK with bright orange handguards on it. RIP Mr. Scoutten 😥

Watched him for years and was one of the driving factors of me getting into shooting sports.. RIP Jim and keep em in the 10 ring up there .

Oh, no! Jim Scoutten was a legend. Thank you Jim, you will be missed by millions. To Jim's family - I am very sorry. His work was so enjoyable.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Over the years I emailed him a few times, and he always returned the message. A true class act. Rest in Peace, Jim.

A true shooting sports icon. Cannot be replaced.

RIP Jim, truly iconic voice and presenter. Prayers for his family and everyone at shooting USA. Thank you for all you guys do for shooting sports and history and the 2A.

This is how I find out that he has passed….I am so sad. I met him several years ago. What a gentleman! A giant in our sport. TV will never be the same. RIP, sir!

I grew up watching Jim. Great tribute

WOW! Just WOW. RIP Jim. Many, many enjoyable hours watching the show. Just Sad.

The speech when he gets the Legends award....that's so cool, I have been watching forever! It was Shooting USA that sent me from Alaska to K&M for a long range training class after watching a segment on the GAP Grind, which led me to move to Middle TN and start shooting PRS...and of course one of my prized possessions in the Hood that you and Jim signed. RIP to a legend in the shooting sports!

I just learned about Jim's passing. So sad. I've loved his show for years. Thanks brother.

Sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He will be missed. What a great voice,I’m not surprised that he was a news anchor.

Gonna miss Jim. So sad to see this news. I first remember him from Car and Driver before Shooting USA. His voice was always so captivating and he seemed like a warm heart. I sent him a message a few years back telling how much I appreciated his work. I hope he read it. Rest easy Jim. 🙏🏻

I remember watching some of his videos. Sad to hear this passing. RIP

I would play episodes running in the background because of his voice. He was a true legend.

I guess I'm gettin' old; all my heros are fading away. I remember Jim from programs in the early 1990s, that and father-son trips to Knob Creek KY! RIP Jim!

Thank you Jim for all you’ve helped and we will never forget you! My son, as well as myself have been watching Shooting USA for many years. It changed our lives, it really did. Folks, the torch has been passed! PLEASE like and subscribe! All of this is a generational thing, let’s keep it alive!

I remember meeting him at the Costa Mesa Fairground at a gun show. I heard his voice turned around and said hi to him. Rest in peace Jim.

I remember watching Shooting USA as a young man in the early 2000's with my parents when I was first getting into shooting. Thank you Jim and Rest In Peace sir.

I too am just learning of this. I am one of the legions who avidly watched Jim for years, loving his delivery and passion for all aspects of shooting, not just run-n-gun or fudd sport. He was a class act. May God have mercy on his soul and send comfort upon his family. I lost my father recently as well, my condolences to the entire Scoutten family.

Watched Jim for many years. He helped in promoting the gun sports and helped to bring many into the sport. We will miss him. God speed Jim.

This brought tears to my eyes. Shooting USA and Jim helped expose me to the world of firearms and the incredible guests they hosted. Jim’s voice resonated confidence and professionalism along with a profound appreciation and knowledge of firearms. Made for a super star of a host, I will truly miss hearing his voice.

I was always impressed with Shooting USA, and even more when I discovered it was hosted by father and son! Jim's voice will echo in my (& our) mind forever! Thank you for the years of great shooting content!

Another legend gone. R.I.P. Jim, thank you for many great memories.

This is my first time hearing about it. He was a legend. I grew up with watching him with my dad I really hate that. He will be truly missed 💔😢😢

RIP, great memories.

He touched more lives than he probably would know and he will be missed rest in peace Jim

I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I really enjoyed his shows. One thing I'll always remember is when I would email Jim, he would always get back to me. May he rest in peace!

So very sorry to hear of his passing. May God be with his family and friends. He was a great example of an entertaining and informative man.

So sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I always enjoyed his show and loved his voice and catch phrase. God Bless to his family and friends.

As a kid in the nineties, Jim was more than just a memorable voice. He was definitely a huge influence on my love for the sport. Legend is almost an understatement for a person who was so influential to so many who never got to meet Jim. Thank you for existing.

A true legend in our sport! RIP, Jim!

Watched him weekly with my dad 25 years ago

Wow; really liked him. RIP

I saw Jim rehearse at the Masters in 91 or 92. Then when he got his show Shooting USA I sent him an email about seeing him at the Masters back in the day. Nice man and gone too. soon.
