If you won't get caught posting the secret, anyone want to share with all of us what treasure of a lever gun you bought your son or daughter or wife for a Christmas gift? Handguns can be spoken of too.

Bought 5 Steyr Mannlicher 8x56R M95/30 short rifles. That and brass and dies,clips, the whole nine yards. So that covered Christmas for the boys and girls.

I'm giving my son my pre-safety .357 Rossi SRC, he ought to get a bang out of it...sorry, couldn't resist the pun...

I bought my seven year old 3 Nerf guns that we I mean he can shoot in the house. He's almost ready for the Marlin Mountie.

I'm giving my son-in-law an autographed copy of Paco's new "Leverguns" book. Paco, again I thank you for the nice things you wrote above your signature. He will love the signature and the book. When he opens it, I expect him to say, 'Dang, Junior!"

I only wish I had had a son or daughter to give a gift to on Christmas, just never worked out for my wife and I. Gave a good friend whos son is in Afganistan a Randel knife made in 1962 that is unused, gave another friend a book One Man one rifle and another a book on Mule deer hunting.

My wife could care less about guns, but she indulges my habit, so I got her a new Fender acoustic guitar and case! Hardly an even deal for all she puts up with!

I'm on the road, won't be home for the whole Christmas thing.

The grandson is getting a Cricket .22 rifle. Course he is only 14 months, so I'm going to keep it for him till he grows into it. Gave the wantabe son in law a 100 rounds of ammo for his S&W 40 caliber pistol so he and I can do some shooting and bonding. I'll finally get the Leupold scope that I purchased from fellow Levergunner, Mark Hargrove. My wife found out that I had bought it and grabbed it and wrapped it up as a gift from her!

I don't/can't have kids. I have Cats. They cause enough grief, and can occasionally be convinced to go hunting - even though I'm not too fond of Voles.

OTOH, I did get my nephews copies ot "Forbidden Legos"...

I did get a gift I will be reporting on later though...

Bearclaw Holsters made me a Tuckable holster for my SP101. They are one of only 3 makers who will do so, and theirs is only $65.

I got it in the Post today... My USPS carrier needs a Tip...

Anyway, it seems to work well on first blush, and doesn't get in the way of my Clip Draw... a bonus.

Full report later.

No leverguns this year, but I did refinish, in a custom way, a bolt-action .22 for my 5-year old daughter. It will be her first gun.

My son is going to get a shotgun for his 10th birthday in May!
