Just got a nice little Christmas bonus from the boss. Ordered a DT Mk.II trigger, a new Wolf spring kit and a PTG M98 Safety for one of my little projects.

What's Santa bringing you this year?

I'll let you know tomorrow.

A new Knight Disc Extreme .50. Thumbhole stock, western ignition.

M70 EW 300 WSM... got an Ernies Trigger Spring today. Scope tomorrow.

Brad, what scope?

I bought 20 head of cows, officially tapped!

Strangely nothing. Only rifle I have any interest in right now is a LH Remington 700 in (gulp) 30-06

Seems that in the past two years I've been "gifted" a pile of '06 ammo that needs burning.

I guess the only other thing that'd float my boat would be if Santa wanted to trade my ULA 300WSM for his ULA '06 Wonder what the chances of that are?

I'd even give him gas/feed money to boot.

Ha, 20 head, nice!

Sam, it's getting a 3.5-10x40 CDS in X-low Talleys.

Nice rifle, first year production. Trigger is a real surprise. No problem to get a clean, crisp 2.5 lbs. Could even go lower.

Merry Christmas bruhta!

I'm eating cookies and drinking beer.

Got a two year old sitting on the counter lickin' the bowl and 8month preggo momma telling me to not eat so many cookies. Lol. Looking in here every now and then.


Life is better than good.

Oh....no new rifles for me yet.

Thinking a Howa 6.5 Creed might be on its way soon though.

Well no rifles this year, got that covered. Boss did let me pick up a really nice S&W Hand Ejector in 32 long 6" nickled with target stocks.. Also a Browning BPS in 12 gauge for steel shot.

Better buying than selling with prices as they sit right now. Hopefully they will go up a bit before next winter. Dad needs to sell those milk cows(I understand you run beefers), his health just isn't up to it anymore. Least he gets some help up there. Younger brother and I don't live far, within 2 miles of the place(even if we are both out of town for work a lot) and mt nephew helps some. Told Dad to unload some of that stock when the price was high in '15...

Slightly off topic , I received an alignment tool to allow to do my own on my 73 Mach 1. We shall see...

Got a Remington blanket with a bull elk on it.

Remington Rand 1911 45ACP..

Got a Nikon Monarch 3.5x10x50 and Santa's blessings to get the next interesting rifle that comes through my buddy's pawn/gun shop. He knows the oddball kind of stuff I like and calls me when he gets something in. Funny thing is, he has more rifles now than I have ever seen in his shop and nothing that fits the bill. Unfortunately, when the oilfield went south, many around these parts had to sell some of their prized possessions, including firearms.

I have just come to the realization that I have about twenty rifles too many. The strange thing is that I am at peace with that. New Years resolution is to gift the ones that need gifting and sell the rest. No danger in Santa bringing another. The family knows my hard hunting days are the memories of good hunts and good friends.

My future hunts are likely to be for dove, maybe I take up duck again, and perhaps varmint calling. Our ranches are so under grazed that seeing a coyote or bobcat is a challenge. Maybe I do more bank fishing.

Life is good. A faithful wife, great kids who are an asset to their communities, grandchildren following in the parents generous ways.

Merry Christmas to all and His peace to you.

How close to Sainthood did you have to get to pull that off. Don't know that I could behave THAT well for a whole year.

Santa must like you.

Brad, sounds like a nice set-up!



Tim, the market is coming back a little!



Merry Christmas.

Forester co-ax.

Santa has some cabelas points to burn.

My first smartphone - an iphone 7+ and an interior brown bear hunt in Alaska in April.
Looking forward to our 20th annual elk hunt in NM on Jan. 4. Looks like we luck out with a snow shoe hunt as well!

Hopefully my Nightforce 3x10x42 SHV was delivered yesterday. And who knows what monday will bring ,Whittakers might have a 7mm08 Tika that I can't pass on.

Salute', congrats on the bounty of life.



hey whoop -

wait till I talk w/Santa before you count on the B bear hunt.

I hope your I 7 is good as my I 5 has been since 2013.

Jerry

As for myself, I can't complain, Santa is Good.



This truck has low miles and Clean as A Pen.

The F 150 I've had since 1993 has hauled a lot of deer and hay and horses.





I'm retiring it to a Farm Implement. Putting it out to pasture so to speak. I've had it so long it's part of the family.

Jerry

Reticle Tru tool for scope alignment. Wanted one for some time. Merry Christmas gents!

World peace. (Until then, visualize whirled peas.)

Picked up a knife from the classifieds....nothing big for me this year. Have another Father/Son deer hunt in the planning stage for next fall back in NC

I do see a T3x CTR in 6.5creed in my future.

Hey that's KOOL

I had an Amazon gift card to burn up, so I ordered two sets of Burris rimfire rings to dress up my CZ rimfires.

I got a wad of loot from the family, so a road trip to Whittaker's tomorrow seems in order, for that Customer Appreciation Day sale.

Got a 60 quart RTIC cooler and a VX3 2.5-8.

Nice!

Sounds dangerous!!!

Careful you'll shoot your eye out...........

Yeti coolers

New Ruger MKIV CCH by Turnbull and stamped Turnbull on the barrel.
