What guns did you give for gifts?

[jefnvk]

Enough threads about what you got for Chirstmas got me thinking. Did anyone give a gun as a gift this year?

I got my Grandfather a Crossman Legacy 1000X Pellet gun. He has been wanting a good air rifle for a while now, and was quite happy.

i gave my wife a 20 ga. double barrel coach gun. she hates snakes.

Gave BIL a Springfield XD9 in OD green last year. He earned it though. It was mostly payback for the many hours he spent helping build my house. We moved in 4 days before Christmas last year.

I gave my Dad a Glock 26. I am either a great son for giving him a Glock or a bad son for giving him a Glock.

 

[Rembrandt]

Got my son a new Black Powder rifle....Knight Master Hunter Disc Extreme. We're going deer hunting this weekend with it.

 

[armoredman]

I wish I had enough money - Mrs Armoredman would have gotten an AK.....

 

[natedog]

I'm 'giving' my friends an SKS. It's going to be mine, in my posession, but one of the primary reasons I'm buying it is for something for my friends to shoot a lot without much kick when I take them shooting.

 

[GreenFurniture]

Gave my dad a PO Tac-Four last year. This year I bought my nephew a Taurus 62 Carbine. Too bad he won't get it for another 10 or so years. Of course in ten or so years I will have broken it in correctly.

I am giving to my oldest granddaughter - turns 20 next month - the Marlin .22 rifle my father gave to me when I was thirteen. It was my first rifle. It will be her first rifle. I taught Vicky to shoot three years ago. She loves our trips to the range.

I am hoping that some day she will have a son or daughter who shares our love of shooting to give it to.

My best bud Clay ("Doc") got a Cetme, that he'd admired greatly, this evening.

All I got was a gift certificate.

To a damn fine gunsmith.

 

[english kanigit]

Got my best friend a Finnish M39 to match mine, she loves to shoot and now she can do it on her own....

Chix with guns rock, unless they're mad at you...

 

[SnakeEater]

Got my wife a Kahr MK9. That is one sweet little gun! What a trigger! This fullsize gun carrying guy might've just fallen in love with a little'un.

 

[MAURICE]

Natedog,
That is exactly why I own a Marlin Model 60. Cheap ammo, fun to shoot, and even my novice shooter friends love it...and of course I am known to put a round or two hundred down range per session, myself.

 

[Sean85746]

I found my wife a SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET little Model 10 3" medium bbl. She has always preferred wheelguns to autos, and never been a fan of J-frames.

She thinks the 3" is perfection indeed.

And yes, I make sure she practices.

 

[Barbara]

Got my youngest a Remington 597.

 

[Stand_Watie]

Under the tree. Now if my 9 year old would wake up I could give it to her It's 6:30 already! I don't remember sleeping this late when I was 9

Edit to add picture

 

[Remington788]

Gave my father-in-law a Mosin Nagant M38.

 

[ID_shooting]

Got the wife an old 22 rifle

My wife, who really isn't into guns, has been hinting at wanting a plinker so she can come out to the desert with me and shoot pop cans and such. She is noise and recoil sensative so a nice little .22lr should do the trick. She really like strange and unusual things (she married me after all) and I just happened to in the shop when some guy brought this nice little gem in. Remington 572 fieldmaster light-wieght .22 in buckskin tan. It was so strange I know she would love it. They only made these for four years (58-62) and the date code on the barrel indicates first-year production. the best part, the guy had it priced for quick sale $150.00, I have since see them for as much as $500.00 on the net Well, here are the pics...

 

[kart racer]

bought my nephew a 10/22,his first rifle.hope he liked it.

 

[Maxinquaye]

I have my old neighbor my H&R single shot 20ga. a while back.

Came back in spades when my buddy gave me his AR for my wedding gift.

 

[farscott]

My ten year-old daughter got a stainless Ruger Mark II (KMK-4C) and a six-inch purple with purple flutes (her choice, not mine) Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite upper as one of her presents.

 

[Stand_Watie]

Excellent choice farscott. I got the 22/45 a couple years ago and now wish I had gotten the Mark II instead. I used to have one and liked the balance a lot better. My daughter has shot it and it was just too much for her though.

 

[farscott]

We tried quite a few combos before we settled on the Pac-Lite/Ruger combination. We started with my Volquartsen Mark II "Deluxe" with its six-inch heavy barrel; it was too heavy. My wife's S&W M41 was also too heavy unless she rested her elbows on the bench. A stock KMK-4C Mark II was good for a few rounds, but fatigue set in during lengthy sessions. She tried my ten-inch Pac-Lite on a Mark II, and it worked pretty good. She wanted something a bit shorter, so we settled on a six-inch upper.

Gave my step dad a CVA kodiak magnum muzzleloader.

Still waiting for Jack-Boot Santa to deliver my C&R.
