I got the best Christmas gift. Nothing.
Why go into debt to give stuff that people have to pretend to like?

And, conversely: If you have to pretend to like it, they're giving the wrong stuff. I am notoriously difficult to buy gifts for, due to my very specific tastes/desires/wants. Yet, people find a way...

I got an RCBS Rock Chucker Kit. My middle son got a Red Ryder which he's slept with it since opening it...
Now if it were warmer than -11 with wind chill, he could get out and shoot it more. And I just need to get some dies, tumbler, calibers, trimmer, powder, primers, bullets, time....

An Anvil... nothing gun related, I haven’t been doing much with the guns this year. Should’ve asked for gun stuff because anything is available now.

Wife gave me money (per my request as I'm trying to get into leatherwork and need money for tools... but don't know how to tell her what tools I need). My Son gave me a BAD lever for an AR and Cabela's gift card. Oldest daughter gave me a Lens Pen (of which I really have a need for, twas a good gift).
On another note, oldest daughter (13) got her first "her" gun given to her. It was an AR15 build, and we just finished a range trip to test it out. She is one happy young lady. |

I asked for and got a few new books for Xmas
The not so worth while, was the recommendation of Hatcher's Notebook... Dry read..not my cup o tea....expensive Re-gift option for sure cuz will never read it a second time I appreciate who the author was and his grand pedigree... BUT I am a practical modern fire arm guy and a lot of the pre Viet nam war info was just stories to me I did read it cover to cover... lots of good poop for guys with an interest in the development and history of all things firearm related And I must admit...to be confident in what we READ Now ----MUST be tempered with the HISTORY...if for not other reason than to call BS to modern assertions that are NOT supported by Absolute fact So my brief review is Hatcher's Notebook.....is a Must read... ONCE....for the real history......BUT will not stay in my personal library |

Primers, projectiles, a rotary media-case separator, and flip up sights for my AR. Plus a few other needed but non-firearm related items.

My youngest just started working at Harbor Freight and gave me a spotting scope that he bought with his first paycheck. A HF spotting scope is nothing to fawn over, but his pride and excitement over giving it to me made it seem somewhat Swarovski-ish in quality. We used it yesterday when we were pre-hunt checking the smoke poles at the shooting range and it worked just fine.
Aside from that I got some of Mom's special nut-ball cookies to bring home and some candied pecans from a buddy's Mom. Couldn't ask for more! Both boys got a USA made Buck rubber handled fixed blade, a USA made PH1 Schrade and Little Finger... those were tough to find and pricey but well worth it. Both got quality cold and warm weather camo hunting rain gear and orange pack vests like dear old Dad's. This was only their second year that they both chose to indulge deer hunting. Oldest took his first last year and youngest took his first this year so they're properly hooked and needed proper outfitting. Ran across a couple of Nikon Prostaff 2-7x shotgun scopes NIB for $75 each and just couldn't say no. So they both got Weaver bases, quick detach rings, and a set of the TruGlo steel vent rib clamp on sights so that they could still use the shotguns once the scope was detached and the base stayed installed. Those went in their stockings and now they have optics on their turkey shotguns like I've always used. I spoil them I know, but it's a selfish thing because that's what I get my real kick out of at Christmas. added.... Oh! I did buy myself a Christmas present. Picked up one of the Yildiz pistol grip 12 ga. camo shotguns at Academy Sports and topped it with one of the Weaver Kaspa 1-4x with quick detach rings. I know I know... Turkish?!?!? It is a darn light and slick handling shotgun and the glass is awesome, so we'll see if it pans out.

Not even a lump of coal. On the bright side, it's better that the mountain sliding down on top of me.

I found a Burris AR 332 prism sight bundled with the Fastfire III in the Cabelas bargain cave. I bought it, but my wife made me wait until Christmas to mount it

Probably the last of the grand Christmass's for me. Autotrickler and A&D FX120i and an AMP annealer. Retired in August and budget constraints will affect all following.

A new furnace for me. Out for almost 20 days - installed and finished the day before 20 below hit.
Got kids computer stuff and videos they wanted. From family got a gift card to Midway and an echo dot. Probably get new set of electronic muffs with gift certificate and surprisingly like the dot; hooked it into my sound system via bluetooth and with prime I can play tons of music - just say a specific band or composer and it plays and plays. "Computer play Bach" or "Computer play Grateful Dead." |

Santa gave me my Volquartsen LLV 6 inch top end for my Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite. It has improved my accuracy and that's just what I wanted it to do. |
