I was working, all I bought this week was gas for the car so regale us all with your amazing firearms related finds! If a sale is still on, post it up to share, pictures always appreciated!
Picked up a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 creedmoor and a Leupold 3-9x40 to top it off for my high school age stepson. First year he has asked for something practical for Christmas in a long time, so I obliged. Of course, when he asked, I told him to keep dreaming, he can buy himself a rifle when he gets a real job - can’t just give in easily! Bought it in that caliber because I already have a glut of components for it on the reloading bench, so he won’t be short on ammo starting out.
Yes, I plan on teaching him to reload. I’ll have quite a few “starter” rounds for him made up Christmas morning, and when he runs out, it will be time to teach him. Out of all 4 kids, my 7 year old daughter has actually shown the most interest, always wanting to help out at the reloading bench. She gets small tasks such as picking brass out of the tumbler, clearing flash holes with a paper clip, loading the tray for inspection, etc. Of course, I double check everything she does, but it’s a good start.Hopefully you’ll teach him to load as my father did back in my high school years. Having that personal stake in the process has kept me connected to shooting as much as any other reason. Big thumbs up on the RAP as well, bought my daughter the same rifle a few years ago.
I don't know where you are, but there is plenty of 22wmr around here. CCI, Armscor, and Win. If you lived close enough to meet I'd pick some up for you or swap out something.I don’t normally test the (shopping) waters on that day but I may still make a trek to search for .22WMR.
