ahegeman 0 #1 December 24, 2004 So who here bought a gun as a Christmas present for someone? What'd you get? Who was it for? I bought my old man a 12-ga Ruger Red Label O/U shotgun. He's gonna soil himself when he unwraps that bad boy. Beautiful gun. While I was at Wal-Mart ordering the shotgun I picked up a Ruger 10/22 for myself. Plinking is fun!--------------------------------------------------------------- There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'. --Dave Barry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote I love my 10/22. I've got the nice stainless targetized version. Way too much fun. That's what I got! I grew up shooting my Dad's 10/22, so I figured it was time to get my own. Definitely a blast. I've put about 200 rounds through it today. I'd have put 2000 through it if it wasn't so &%*$%@# cold here in Kansas.--------------------------------------------------------------- There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'. --Dave Barry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope this isn't one of those places in Texas where you get a picture hand feeding your deer before you shoot him or her Kidding.
