They Gave Me a Rifle.

I retired last week, and on my last day, they presented me with a 308 Ruger Gunsite Scout. with a stainless barrel. Sweet!! I own a couple of handguns, but haven't, shot a rifle in over 20 years, and never owned a true high power rifle. I've only shot a few rounds out of it but I'm pretty happy with how it shoots, and handles and look forward getting more familiar with it.

it's a great gun, I love shooting mine. I have a 1×4 scope on it. It's like the bolt action im not afraid to shoot the daylights out of. Enjoy it and the retired life.

Congrats on retirement and one of the best retirement gifts I've heard of.

Enjoy your retirement. I can't wait for mine. But I'm sure I won't get anything that amazing as a going away gift.

I want to do more volunteer work, and my wife has a huge honey do list, I will also spend a lot more time at the range,
So far I've been keeping real busy, and I am now starting to wonder how I ever had time to go to my job

A very nice present indeed.
It seems obvious to me that your co-workers know you well and spent a lot of time and thought selecting an appropriate gift for you.
Enjoy your retirement Liberty.

NAPTIME!!! At least my father made it a perk!

I have one too. It will be my truck gun whenever I get around to getting a truck.

Congratulations! I retired on 12/31 too, and I couldn't be happier.
And you're going to like that RGS. They are handy little rifles.

VERY cool retirement gift. Much better than the proverbial "gold watch". Enjoy the rifle, and retirement.
