Merry Christmas!

So, what did Santa get you this year?   A new Tikka?  Sako?  Remington?   Savage?  Kimber?   Browning? Ruger?    ;D

Ruger All weather 30.06 with a Leupold 3x9 Rifleman scope.  This will let my Winchester 70 in .o6 be a semi-safe queen.  BTW Santa got my 13 yr old son a Henry 22.  I guess Santa is pro 2nd Amendment.  I hope Pelosi got coal.

Merry Christmas!  Santa didn't bring me any guns but he brought my son a T/C Omega .50 with the camo stock and stainless barrell.  He had it on his list and didn't dream he would get it.  He's pretty excited to say the least.  Rev

How old is your son?  Any possibility he will let dad borrow it?

He's 23.  I DO hope he will let dad borrow it  :)   Hope to do some shooting with him this week.  After all, he might need some help sighting it in, right?

Well, santa didn't get me squat this year.... HOWEVER

I purchased a brand new cz-550 416 rigby a few weeks back (to be completly honest, I placed the order for it, it hasn't arrived yet)

AND, I am in the process of trying to get some sort of 338... most likly RUM.  But don't knwo what rifle to get, not many choices in the 338 ULTRA mag, other than the remington XCRs, and I don't really have any first hand experience with them.

It is funny how the kids always want dad to do the sighting in.  I guess I am good for something around the house.  My son has a new 375 H&H that I really want to shoot.  However, it is a Winchester Model 70 NIB and I think he wants to keep it that way for awhile.

Hellacatcher - you will love the 260 and wonder how you ever got along without one.  I have a few deer rifles in a few calibers but keep thinking (insisting in some instances - just to be ornary) it is THE perfect deer caliber.  Y'all have me curious about these Remington XP's.  I got the first rifle ever from my wife this Christmas- a Ruger 10/22.  I have never owned a 22 rifle before - kind of wanted a Thompson but will have fun replacing parts on the Ruger.  Merry Christmas all!

In my sock was a 250gr Remington CoreLokt .338 Win Mag cartridge. 

In the garage was a VERY lightly used Sako Finnbear (circe 1980) chambered in .338 WM complete with a VariXIII held on by original Sako rings.   ;D ;D  Somebody pinch me!
