This should make a young man happy for Christmas!
« on: December 22, 2016, 12:25:40 PM »
I don't know who is going to be happier when my son opens this present.  As I mounted ths scope and gave it one final wipe down, I was overcome with JOY!! 

Merry Christmas and thanks for looking, had to share my excitement beings we don't open presents till tomorrow (I work Christmas day). 

Ruger 10/22 walnut checkered stock
Leupold 2-7x33 fine duplex scope
Nice leather sling with deer emblem on it
Two 10 round mags (he doesn't need extended yet)
It will be wrapped in a nice Allen gun soft case

For the record....I bought an identical rifle for myself LOL.  I don't have a scope on mine yet, but have a few laying around.  Now I guess we will be spending plenty of hours at the range.  :tup:

It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

Sarcasm: The ability to insult stupid people without them realizing it. 

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

Nice.  :tup:

I remember buying our son his first rifle, a .17 HMR from Kesselrings for Christmas one year.

Nice. My dad gave me the same rifle as my first way back when. Your boy is going to love it.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Heck ya buddy.  Fun times ahead for you and the boy.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.
