It truly amazes me what kind of people are on this website. I guess thats why I like coming here. I haven't been here long but I sure as heck am glad I found out about it.

That young man is going to be so happy come Christmas morning:)

Ok guys, going to basspro with Deborah to pick up a TC Venture in .270. I will get some pics. The final donation is below. Several have sent via paypal and I got a couple of MO in mail today (I will send out PM to those I received later today). I will keep an eye out for the rest. I am going to give Deborah a check in the amount of 295 today, again because of my schedule and easier that way vs trying to wait for everything to come in.

That is all the gun the kid would need....if the extra $99 becomes a problem then the stevens 200 in 25/05 or 7mm-08 would be a hell of a good starter gun,mine in 22/250 is a nice rifle for the price. I am always amazed at how inexpensive it was to buy,how innovative Savage is in making these guns and how accurate it is.

She looks like a very proud Mother. The boy is definitely blessed.

They will, Glocked! If I've learned only one thing in life, it's this: good or bad, what goes 'round really does come 'round.

Ok then how about a nice set of binoculars. Vortex optics offered a scope but they also offered a set of binoculars as well if he already has a scope.

What a GREAT company!! all I did was contact them and let them know what was going on and they stepped up to the plate!!

Here is a link to the Diamondback binos.

Bill,

That is simply amazing! I am out of town for 2 weeks tomorrow AM. I will have access & be able to log in, but not in TX. I will let Deborah know and can probably just give you her address if we are on.

Thanks for doing this!

Great rifle & caliber. The Japanese have cut production cost way down on this rifle. One of the best buys available. I have a Mauser conversion in 257 Wby. w/McMillan stock that probably doesn't shoot any better & with all the refinements cost over $1,700.

Hi all,
I received an email from Paul at Vortex today. They are temporarily out of Diamondbacks but will be getting some in after 12/5.

Lou I will need your address so I can give it to Vortex. I offered to pay shipping but they said they would do it for NO CHARGE!!

I am more impressed with them everytime I hear from them.

If you guys are in the market for a scope,binoculars or a spotting scope. Please take a look at Vortex. I know they are not doing this to sell product. They are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

I for one am extremely impressed with them. They don't know me at all and theystepped up to the plate to help out a young man get involved in hunting and shooting.
KUDOS to Vortex.

I hope you all had a GREAT Thanksgiving.

Bill/WI
