What did you get for Christmas?

[Habanero69er]

Another eBay purchase, apparently I'll never learn. Supposedly new.

Also received a target box and Ransom rest.

Nice find/Christmas present Steve.

Betty Lou and I just get something useful. This year it was the hydraulic log splitter. After splitting up every log we had on the place over the past 2 days we went into the shop.. she tended the woodstove as I tinkered with airguns. "The Outpost" was streaming on the TV.
Boss laid on the floor chewing up sticks.
We are both very happy with the purchase.

Them Spanish Inquisition dudes would have loved that 

Obligatory:

Mom gave me six pairs of socks and a thousand dollars.

Wow you're the winner in this thread! My mom never gave me $1K for Christmas. Some guys have all the luck. lol

I "took delivery" of a Rossi 92 and a pre-buyout all stainless Marlin LA, both in .357.  Sonja immediately claimed the Rossi as hers.     I doubt I've ever felt such a nice trigger as the perfection on that Rossi.  Seriously- the trigger is superb!

Both are sweet little firecrackers- and are playing-card-accurate at 50 yards free-hand.  In fact, the overall "feel" while configured wildly different from my Leshiy, are ergonomically very similar in how they actually shoulder..  Short/compact, solid, accurate.  I really love carbines.

Both powderburners really make me want to drop the coin on a Hatsan Vectis and a Lobo Mustang.  I just cannot get enough lever-action action to satisfy



OOooooohhh... Sonja saw me type this and asked, "What's that?" referring to the Barnett Phantom.  Over the time of my typing this it has already been wishlisted in our Amazon Cart.

I got myself a Rossi 92 SS 357 (20" barrel) for Christmas a few years back to add to my lever gun collection.  It's a great gun and accurate.  Earlier this year I bought a Rossi 95 Stainless Laminate.  She is a beauty and gets sub-moa groups at 100yds.

This year I got a GX CS4 compressor for Christmas

I doubt I'm capable of sub-MOA with anything, but I'm willing to be my wife can eke every bit of accuracy out of that 92's action.  Smooth?  Absolutely... but the trigger itself is just... it really defies my description.  It has a 16" barrel (16.2"?).   

The Marlin is really nice, too, but the action on that Rossi... whoooo boy.  Wow!

I got a new (to me) boat and ordered a 14' x 24' shed.

I took a little of the lucre that mom gave me and bought an NVD from a member here.  One Leaf Commander NV100.  It has a detachable monocular and a very nice daylight scope.  The Nv is pretty basic but that's what I was expecting so I ain't disappointed.  I took the monocular to work today and after work I sat and watched wildlife in the park.  Based on that experience alone the thing is worth every penny and the scope is gravy.  I saw deer and owls through the NVD.  I do a night time nature walk in the park and this thing is going to be a real boon.  I'm hoping I'll be able to spot flying squirrels with this at night too.

I received a MidwayUSA gift card from my aunt and used it to buy this Ka-bar 1119 " wrench knife "

I've been interested since they came out a few years ago but could never really pull the trigger because I was bugged that they chose to use SS instead of the Chrome vanadium steel they  use for most of their knives.
After all this is drop forged to look like it was made from an adjustable wrench, and most adjustable wrenches are made of Chrome Vanadium tool steel.
It is just such a blatant missed opportunity on their part.

I have since had a healthy enough fill of carbon steel that I've become more accepting and tolerant of stainless steel, so I bit the bullet.

I only have one lever action gun, a Henry plain-jane H001 in .22 cal. It initially couldn't hit the broadside of a barn if I was in it.

After tearing it down completely, adding shims, reworking the trigger, lapping the barrel, it put three in the same hole at 25 yards. You know how paper curls after ... hole was smaller than .22 inches. Buttery smooth action on it.

Rossi was the lowest priced on the holiday sales flyer back then, I'll have to catch up a few decades, congrats on the 95, sub-moa is a pretty exclusive club, especially at 100 yards!

Well Wally world gave me a scope.😁 That's probably going to be the only present I get.

Wellp, I spoke to soon.😡 Seems that Wally wants his money after all. I didn't even get a lump of coal.☹️

I went to the PA website today to spend a little bit more of my holiday cash.  After selecting 8 tins of pellets I had a look at their post-holiday bargains.  I found a Springfield Armory M1 carbine refurb for $84 after discounts and bought it on impulse.  I've been looking at the full auto Crosman M1's but the AV/Springfield Armory model looked a lot more authentic and it is full metal although semi auto.

Two new pair of pants for work lol…….

[Sqrl Klr]

I got two work pants as well but earlier in the month. Some people like to walk around with holes in their pants but not me.

As a teenager my brother had a favorite pair of shorts that he refused to get rid of, the whole rear on one side was hanging down and he used to wear athletic tights under them to keep his but from showing.
My mom was so embarrassed to be seen in public with him.

I absolutely hate wearing pants with a hole in them.
I'll deal with a little 1/4" hole , but any bigger than that and they're gone.
I won't even use them as beaters, because I have a pair of bib overalls for that.

I must be getting old... I wanted socks.

[Sqrl Klr]

Old is getting the socks then putting them back in the box then putting the wrapping back into the box...then later on grabbing the wrapping and throwing them into the lit fire place with the socks too as happened to my dad once accidentally....I think. hehe

I received a new bipod for my AS392.  The picatinny QD feature required some modifications to get it working well. I like it so far.

 After I showed Nick the Mossy Oak fake damascus knife set I got in the Tractor supply bargain bin, he gave me my Christmas gift, he gave me one last year also, he gets airgun related stuff from me to feed his beast
