My boys have been good

[PapaG]

So each one gets a Stevens original 22/410 with the Tenite stock. There is a box each of .22 and .410 in their stockings as a teaser. Managed to find two, almost identical, in the past few years.

I hope you have many years of joyous memories with those two. Merry Christmas.

That is great.

They are probably want to skip Christmas dinner and go shooting.

 

[chicharrones]

What a Christmas they will have!

Congrats to the boys,and Merry Christmas.

Lots of good shooting and memories coming from this I'm sure!Those boys will be remembering this years from now....to the point of reliving it with their youngsters,possibly carrying on by passing down the tradition.

If I had a dollar for each "no way, awesome, fantastic, thanks dad" I could keep them in ammo for life.
Next up, a couple of 870 trap guns for next year......after I find appropriate wood.
Not gonna live forever. I'd rather enjoy this stuff with them than leave it to them.
Thanks for the well wishes and Merry Christmas.
Shooting on Thursday.

Nice PapaG, very nice!

I've been good!



Great choice. The Tenite stocked ones are hard to find.

 

[ontarget]

That's an awesome way to look at it. "I'd rather enjoy this stuff with them than leave it to them"
Words to live by. Good job dad.

Been slowly doling out family and other guns to them over the years. Each has one of the grandpa guns, a Sportsman 58 that #1 uses for skeet and #2 has a Fulton Hunter which has dropped a few pheasants. Something similar or related each year.
I'm also working on a historical document for the family stuff in the vault, i.e. great uncle's Krag, another's Shattuck 10 gauge, a battlefield pickup Type 99, and others which they will all get someday. Lots of history. Fun, educational and a lot of fun for me.

I had one as a youngster.

My Dad took half of an old bow and made me a cool target,,,
It was one where you hit a 3" metal disk with the .22 rifle,,,
The bow limb then propelled a clay pigeon straight up,,,
You tried to hit it with the 410 round.
