It's That Time Of The Year Again

dev110

With Christmas just around the corner has any of ye treated yourselves to something nice or maybe you have been leaving subtle hints around the house for parents/partners/etc that might just end up under the tree Christmas morning?

I recently treated myself to a CZ 452 Style, Springer pup, Deerhunter jacket and a Bushnell Banner 6-18x50.

New .223 to be looked for on Monday, a pup in February , and a commercial jeep for my excursions. sure why not? Herself got me few nice bits, new targets that splatter!! Nice embroidered hat with a pheasant on it. It really helps that's she from a shooting house.

When i get my shoulder back up and running i want to get back looking at .243's and trade my .204, i'm going to miss it, i want to get a rangefinder too if i have the funds leftover after all my festive drinking

santa is bringing me a pair of nikon monarch 7's in 10x42 they have their ED glass in them.:D

dev110

I'm thinking about .243's also. It really is the best all round calibre that I can think of for foxes and deer.

German pointer

Just had a pair of Leica Trinovid 8x42's delivered and herself is getting me a mincer

ormondprop

Ya i have .243 in mind but i'd take a decent .270 or .25-06 i i came across one, if santa was really nice he could buy my .204 off me as there are serious bargains to be had privately or in a dealers with a wad of cash buying straight but a few dealers have offered me reasonable price for a trade in but they hadn't any guns that caught my eye in stock

Dropping serious hints about getting a springer pup i havent heard the word NO yet so we will see

CZ550FS 6.5X55,sooooo happy with it. Didn't even put the scope on yet having too much fun with the open sights. Herself is getting me a pair of Hunter balmoral wellies so I couldn't be happier.

I will be picking up my new CZ 452 American .17 HMR blued barrel (Synthetic Stock)with Hawke Map Pro 4-16x50, Harris Bi-Pods, Mod and Sling just before a good long Christmas Break!It will see plenty of action over the festive period, no doubt!!

Still saving my pennies and trying to get the NF scope, rings, and mount that will compliment my Savage FTR. Christmas is a bit soon, but if I do my taxes early [in the States] I could have it by February.

I now wonder whether I should forego the scope, rings, and mount and buy the M21 or Ar50 that was next on the list.

Got a Roedale precision mod for my new T3.

Best early xmas ever..

Mac wet gloves, some new gaiters and 3 boxes of .300 win mag ammo hopefully.

Grizzly 45

A few bob towards the Benelli M3 will do fine..Just had the CPO out to have a look at my safe and security ,again. Anyways, he's happy enough with the security so hopefully..
Have dropped some hints about a Leatherwood ART rifle scope,but I doubt that 500 lids will be forthcoming.

Got the itch for a CZ .22 varmint that has to get scratched. I will phone around and see if any secondhand come up.

Fancy doing some sporting rifle class benchrest and back to the rabbit shooting again.
Now will I get the 16" or 22" barrel version??????

I treated myself to a Lightforce roofmounted 170.
no more cold right arm for me!

I'm not sure if it counts as an xmas gift since I got it a few weeks ago and it won't get here till next year and the paperwork is still in the pipeline (though the local FO says it's a like-for-like and won't cause any problems at all), but I did get myself a new air rifle

Details please...

Full details to follow (when it arrives), but it's a Walther LG400. FrankenRifle was getting too old for active competition (if something on it broke, replacement parts wouldn't be easily available, especially not at a match), and we'd been looking for a replacement for a while. Held off to see the new ISSF kit rules to be sure it wouldn't cause problems and then bought it.

Dare I ask how much?

What does that guage looking thing on the foregrip area do?

What caliber is she?

£2k sterling. (About a year's savings, basicly)

What does that guage looking thing on the foregrip area do?

It's a gauge
Specifically, its the pressure gauge for the air cylinder (it's the end of the cylinder). Used for refilling and for checking pressure before assembling the rifle.

What caliber is she?

.177/4.5mm. Standard 10m ISSF airgun calibre.

Well I scratched that itch yesterday and got myself a CZ 453 varmint, single set trigger model, and a Bushnell 3200 5-15x40 tactical scope.
Both second-hand but in tip-top condition.
