Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your Christmas gift to yourself ??

Most of us are guilty justifying or giving self approval to ourselves of a present around Xmas. My gift to myself this year is a 1970 ish Sako 270 std model. I had a deluxe 30 years ago but had to part with it for financial reasons. The only time in my life. I seen this 270 at a gun show and it had a 24 inch barrel and hardly used. I still have my dies, brass. Let’s hear about your gift to yourself !!!! Alan

Those Sako rifles are hard to beat!

Got mine early this year.

2 kidney stones left this afternoon and will not be missed.

Anything else will be gravy.

I sent a Rem 700 Titanium Gen1 in .270 I've had since they came out to Kampfeld for a better barrel at 24" fluted and cerakoted olive drab.
I'll do the stock work bedding it in a Manners Ultra Classic i bought a couple years ago.

Yep, kind of like a sore pecker. You just can't beat it.

A pair of Bajio sunglasses.

A properly built AOD for my Mach 1. It's built, the install awaits.

New seat covers for my 2000 F350, which still runs great, but has had to too many butts slide inside.....

One of these, sitting in customs as we speak.

some high dollar Brooks walking shoes. Time to start taking care of my feet

A Diamondback 20-60x80 spotting scope.

I bought myself a small auto knife:

I can't be more pleased with the construction and finish (Made in USA). I picked this one over Kershaw's and a few other 'name' makers. It's a gorgeous little knife to hold (excuse the pocket lint):

I can't have the auto knife here but the Aberfeldy is a good choice.

I don't buy Christmas gifts for myself . . . unless you would consider 12, 16, 20 and .410 ga primed hulls, wads for the hulls, powder to put in them and shot and a couple of loading presses as "Christmas gifts" to myself. For most stuff I buy throughout the year, I buy them when I want (not need) them. And, yes, I do inform my bride. She typically does the same.

Mossberg 695 out of the Classifieds. I been thinking about getting something else too but I can't think of anything I can't live without.

CZ P09 for $349 at buds

A gently used Savage model 14. Not as nice as the first one I found but a fine gift nonetheless.

A Ruger No. 1A in .250 Savage

Garmin chrono for me as well as a gaggle of assorted ammo and some primers. And an anschutz

Booked a tent cabin in Yosemite at the end of this month for the family

All the stuff for me is just stuff, the Yosemite trip will be great as per always

Cyber Monday: I found a Metabo 10" compound miter saw for $95. I have been running the hell out of it since arrival. Amazon.

Yes, the Garmin Chrono, as well. That does not count. That was an absolute necessity.
