Don't really do Christmas for myself - just buy what I want when I want for me mostly. So this year, calendar year 2023 I bought quite a few things "special"
96 ZRT600 - decided to keep and not flip
04 Firecat 700
04 YFZ450 - needs rebuild, winter project
53 International Harvester Garand from CMP
44 Colt Slide/Frame 1911A1 from CMP
Bergara B14R
Kibler Colonial in 50
Bout it for "special in 2023" I think.

A Florida fishing trip with my three sons. I am going since they are too young to go on their own. I consider this my Christmas present. A really good one as well.

Pictures? Here is one in my basement, some from the dealer's online site when I got it and some of the brass for it. It's a Lindner made Charles Daly, very early from the 1870's. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53251172797_1d7dab6801_c.jpg) ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53252395355_7629cea155_c.jpg) ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53251898641_8bcf0b9dfa_c.jpg) ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53252412999_08a147f093_c.jpg)

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 Yep Sako’s are hard to beat, bought a 50th anniversary model for my 70th birthday last year. I bought a Kimber BGR in 270 to go with a 280 BGR I bought last year for my Christmas present this year. Hanco congrats! Do you like the 280 over the 270? I’d say about the same. I loaded 120 Barnes for the 280, but I think I’m going to try the 140 ballistic tips like I use in 7 mags.

I usually just get what I want. But I have been slowly transitioning out of Glocks into Sig pistols. Got a 365 XMacro comp to replace a G29. A 320 XTEN Endure coming in today which is replacing a G40. Still researching which SIG 9mm I am going to get for a G20 replacement. If that counts.

A month in Thailand. Home in 5 days. Would love to hear details on this trip, it's on my list of destinations to visit soon Yep, a report upon completion is required! I’ve been to Thailand a handful of times, P huket and Bangkok. It’s one of if not my favorite place to visit. Singapore a close second. Its beautiful. Get out of the tourist traps.
