Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Didn't get any gear, or even a card for that matter, but I did make it home from the sandbox in time to spend Christmas with my family, which is more than I could have ever asked for.

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Told my best friend who works with me everyday on the 23rd that we weren't going in today because we we're going to do something fun all day.
There we're three rules, no asking where we we're going, What we we're doing when we got there and he had to plan on having fun.

Drove almost three hours to meet up with another Hide member to check out a .308 5r in a AICS chassis, looked great so I paid for it and looked at Mike and said "That's your new rifle !"
He was pretty ecstatic and I couldn't of felt better giving it to someone more deserving than him. One of those people who always gives his time to everyone else but never seems to get it back from them.

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones we give.

He shoots but its tough for him to spend the money on something like that when he's trying to help his girls through college and pay the regular life bills so it has always been put on the back burner for a long time.
I'm hoping to get him to some of the SHWW shoots coming up this year !

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

My wife bought me an ice-cream scoop made from solid steel. She knows me so well.
I got awfully pissed when I kept bending or breaking the cheapass ones from the stores around here. So she did some internet shopping and bought me one that weighs somewhere around 5lbs. Not breaking that SOB anytime soon!

I bought her a smith and wesson M&P compact in 9mm. If it's the thought that counts, then I'm screwed...

I got a Sig SSG-3000 and its awesome so far I have tried the Berger 168 VLD and it shot 4 rounds pretty much in the same hole @ 100 yards. The best part about it is Cabelas had it on clearance for 2K.

Put the ice cream scope in hot water before you use it.
Stay out of hot water with your wife or she might use it.

Happy New Year

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

My dad opened a gift from my mom. It was an electronic wind detector. You push a button hold it up, and little LEDs light up where the wind is coming from. My mom was so proud and you could tell she was hoping he liked it (my dad's very hard to shop for as if he wants it, he buys it).

So after about 5 seconds of my dad looking puzzled at the box he looks at me, I lick my finger, and stick it up in the air. Everybody laughed, even my mom.

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Wow,some of you guys really cleaned up!Around our house,Christmas is all about the kids and grandkids.My wife and I are hard to shop for,and if we want something,we either buy it or buy it for the other one(um,make sense).She did buy me a Yeti cooler and I bought her a nice pair of boots and a gift card at a local clothing store.I did buy myself and my son that reloads one of Toms machined aluminum loading blocks. Happy New Year, Lightman

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Just set up the new Viper 20-60x60 Nomad (angle eyepiece) and tried it out through the window. Its just amazingly sharp compared to what
I'd used previous.

I've been using an old Simmons 20-60x60 for more than a decade, and I never realized how awful it was until now. It's still good enough for smallbore, but for C/F distances, I'm going with the Viper, period.
