Not a rifle, But I got myself a crossbow on Mother's Day - it's a joke with my wife - I got a mother's Day gift!

That would be the Dale Goens 6.5x55 I recently picked up.

Not necessarily a Father's day gift, nor a rifle, but I did buy a new bow. Several, actually. Decided I wanted to go with a carbon this year, but couldn't decide between which to buy. So, I just went all in and bought a Hoyt RX-7 Ultra, a Bowtech Carbon One, and a PSE Mach 34.

Probably a new 13-14' dipping rod. Looking at the ACC Crappie Stix Crossover plus several others.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Not anymore, when I was younger treating myself to something was an excuse to get something new, don't look at it that way anymore. I don't treat myself, I just get it.

Bought a .22 cal PCP Air Rifle and some quality optics for it. My .25 accounted for 7 woodchucks this week. I find I shoot these far more frequently than 22LR any more.

Bought a Dakota M10 in 6.5X55 from a fire member. Working on shipping vs picking it up personally as I'm going by the seller's residence the end of July. I hate shipping guns especially something this nice. I shipped a boat paddle Ruger to Montana and the box looked like someone hit it with a chain saw.

Anyone else buying your self a gift? I always have to. When the impulse hits me I can always choose some occasion to sync it with. Besides, only YOU know exactly what to buy.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

The Cabela’s/BPS special run That’s the one I’m thinking about, have you shot it yet? Don’t have it yet. I ordered it Sunday, local Cabela’s notified me last night it arrived. I will pick it up tomorrow after work. I hope my scope arrives tomorrow as the scope rings/mounts are here tomorrow from MidwayUSA.

I’m in the same shape now, went to bass pro tonight and picked one up, bought a leupold for it but I’m going to order talley one piece base/rings for it, so won’t be shooting it for a few days yet.

My scope rings and dies came in this afternoon. I took a gamble and ordered a Zerotech Thrive for it. If the eye relief is not what I want, I’ll wait until I return from Europe in late July and buy a Leupold or a Tract scope. If the Zerotech doesn’t work for the Western. It will Move over to my 6 ARC AR15.
