Merry Christmas! I know that having loved ones around, good health, food and shelter, and peace of mind are some of the most important things we can have at any time, much less Christmas. However....If you were blessed enough to be given something really cool this year, what was it?

My favorite was this leather duffle that Wifey got me. She said it looked like something to take to Africa, and that I couldn't keep taking my camo backpack to business functions!

Wow... Y'all must be tired from opening gifts! lol
 
Hahahahaha!!!! Well, I know I could make at least one of those work!
 
Underpants and socks same as every year. They were much needed too.
Now I just need to make these puppies last until next Christmas
 
Don't forget the undershirts!
 
Well my wife really shocked me this year. Ruger Alaska. In 9.3x62! Talk about awesome! I was shocked. My good friend called her when it came in and told her about it, she said sure. Kids were in on it and her parents helped smuggle it into the house on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning was very nice to open it. Scoped it and lightened trigger some before I went to bed Christmas Day, worked up a couple of loads in new normal brass I had for my other 9.3. Shot it this evening and it did not disappoint! Both bullets with the very first loads I shot were an inch or less.

As a follow up, took the boys hunting this evening after shooting at the range. My youngest, 10 now, ended up making a heck of a shot on a deer. Ended up being a bigger buck than I thought.

PRIMERS!!!, a steel gong, and a rear support bag.
 
I gave my daughter a properly-sized O/U 20 gauge shotgun.

She works as an intendant representative for large yearbook company.

She is a good shot, and this might give her the opportunity to take a school Principal on a free quail hunt in south Georgia.

It might secure a large contract....

Hopefully...
 
A "Gift Certificate" to go shop at SCI Nashville! The best gift ever.
 
A favorite nephew gifted me this. He knows that I’m a huge fan.

He also knows that the one I have on the wall is not the peer of this one.

It’s bigger :cool:

Two striped cotton Paul Frederick button down collar shirts. One in dark blue and one in light green. Just what I like wearing.
 
My girlfriend got me a pair of Jim Green boots.....been wearing them around the house and so far so good.
 
I've got two pairs of Rangers and she got me a pair of Shoelies for Christmas. Love me some Jim Green's!
 
My brother gave me a Bersa Thunder .380.

My daughters have a true knack for getting me gifts. It's uncanny. Usually it's small stuff but it always hits the mark. Maybe my favorite? My youngest gave me gray and red flannel pajama bottoms 5 years ago. I wear those darn near nightly between October and May.
 
While I was visiting one of my daughters in Orlando earlier this year we went into nice hat shop that stocked tilley. I admired them, but noted that the prices were a bit inflated, so I passed.

My daughter took note and apparently watched the shop for months until they had a sale going on, and bought me a Tilley Airflo for Christmas.

Was a really nice surprise.
 
9,3 double bought for me by me,

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
