Re: What was your very best Christmas Gun Wise?

Actually the best was this year. I gave my 18-year-old great-nephew a new 10/22. He was thrilled. His mom videod it. I don’t think he has ever shot a gun before. We will fix that Thursday.

Re: What was your very best Christmas Gun Wise?

When I was 8 Dad was Air Force and we lived in Spain. I asked for a BB gun, since all the other boys had them.
Christmas morning I got up before sunrise, found a gun under the tree.
I took it into my parent's room and asked "Is this a BB gun?" They said no, it was a popgun. :/
Disappointed I was playing with my other toys when my parents got up. After a while, Dad said "Wait, there's something else back here. He reached behind the tree to the windowsill and retrieved something in a long canvas case.
It was a Cometa springer pellet gun, much more accurate and powerful than a BB gun. I was thrilled!
I abused that poor gun horribly, but it sure was fun. Still have it, patiently awaiting restoration.
