So Was Santa Good to Ye?

FISMA

Lads,
Just wondering if Santa was good to you, or if he caught your name on the naughty list!

Anyhow, let's see or hear anything that was left under the Christmas Tree that made you smile.

Conversely, any of those "what in the name of God" were they thinking gifts are welcome too.

Slan.

Got my first grant letter from the Super on the eve of Christmas Eve and from that point on i got nothing but grief from her....

Apparently i spent more time over christmas going on about "my new toy" than paying interest in my kids and there toys

Gonzor

Got a new hunting jacket and one or two shooting books.... and then stack loads of DVDs because apparantly Im a hard to person to buy for :eek:

I was dissapointed I didnt get any dummy rounds. I was dropping hints since mid november :rolleyes: So Ive decided for next xmas Im gonna be writing out a list- a huge list, which includes pictures of the item, shop/website where you get it, price etc.... that way theres no excuses

Nice to see that you got your priorities right. Don't forget to involve the kids as well, that'll keep her indoors happy.

Got this for the wife, ;);););)

Now I can watch all my downloaded shooting vid's and DVD's. AC RYAN 1tb media player (HDMI output) on top left of the tv stand holds all my movies and music content.

A great year for shioting gear. My various loved ones gave me a peli case, an led lenser P3 and P7, a pair of aigle wellies and a book on repairing shotguns, and a custom Davy Moore bowie from herself!

No shortage of enfields in dealers , if you ask about they will have them or can get one easily enough.

I don't really like to get presents. But how could you say no to...

1) 100 rounds of 338 Win Mag Hornady Superformance in 225gr.
2) 10 rounds of 50 BMG Hornady A Max Match in 750gr :eek: even though you don't have a 50 cal
and
3) 200 rounds of Hornady Zombie Ammo in 223, because the green tips were festive
.
Note, I am not complaining about the 50cal. I actually see it as an excuse to get one now.:rolleyes:

At the rate your going you'd want to make sure the floor boards will hold up for you.

Tack, I knew they were big, but when you pick one of these things up, you understand why, around this size, they stop using the word bullet and begin using the term projectile!

Ah, I have a while to go, but to be truthful, I have taken into consideration the distribution of the cases on my auld floors!

I also forgot to mention one really simple, inexpensive, tactical, and practical gift I got. A must have for the survivalist in us all - the paracord bracelet.

If you are like me and tend to have a Bear Grylls moment every now and then, you'll like this one. The bracelet unwinds into 9' or 10' of 550lb test.

Lads, they're only $2.50 so if ye want one, PM me. Won't be home for a few months, but will peg them into the case.

Ever see this? a Soldier in the US used a 50BMG round to hammer in the cross pin on his machine gun mount

warning .... gross.....
