What did you get yourself for Christmas?

Our biggest gift was a trip to the eastern cape with my son, 13 yr old grandson, my son-in-law and my other 13 yr old grandson. 9 yr old granddaughters got a weekend away with beauty and the beast live theater tickets. Also got a savage .25/06 youth model to practice beforehand and for next deer season. Lots of work to do yet but excited for all.
 
I got the go ahead from the wife to gift myself the following:

A 12b Army&Navy "best", built around 1905, 30" barrels, 15" stock, with a strong 5/8" cast-off (that fits my broad frame perfectly.)
 
fixed the cylinders on my air gun and bought a compressor to fill the cylinders
 
However I bought my wife a flight in a spitfire

I’m tempted to ask to be your wife now… :D

That’s an awesome Christmas gift!
 
A new project rifle. DMW Brazilian Action, with a Brno barrel in .458WM

Started Dec. 11th and still not done with my gift. A messed up shoulder and a pinched nerve in my neck. Just had an MRI this morning... yay... (I'm usually much better at gift giving)

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
