Thread: What did you get ( hunting related ) for Christmas

AR15 Trigger (JMT - Saber Drop in Single Stage) from Mum

Attachment 61152[/QUOTE]
does that trigger use the standard pins to holdit in

I managed to get a new knife from the Mrs with a custom HGD sheath


And from the kids I got some Stoney Creek Dreambull waterproof pants and the biggest surprise was this voucher on the inside of the box lid. Sheesh blew me away


So what have I been doing since......trying to spend it lol. Looking for a 243 to complete the range of guns in the safe lol.

So anyone wanting to sell a Tikka T3 in 243 best touch base 😁

Nice knife Hamish!

Not really, have laminated T3 in. 223 with 3-9x40 on it is use for training the kids. 708 T3 with 4-12x40 with LR reticle for my slip and open country when a bit better of bush bashing involved and a 284 T3 with 3.5-18x 44 on it as my long range rig. Am looking for designated bush rifle so. 243 with 2-7 on it to complete the set.

That's my justification anyway 😁

She also bought me one of these Benchmade Steep Country Hunting Knife - 15008-BLK the other day as a bit of a late Birthday/early Xmas present. Happy Chappy

I looked at the feather jacket too, Ryan, real nice... I ended up getting a RAB, synthetic one, with a hood. I've got them wet in the past and just found the synthetic one drys out faster; mind you the feather one does pack down smaller.

Regardless you've got a mint jacket there!

Let me know how you find it, I like the look of a lot of the Rab gear, looks very well made and had thought put into the design process. Will probably end up with some of their items.

Got a cool backpack of Double Shot

The Mrs got me the Lee 50th anniversary reloading kit! Was stoked as I've been wanting to learn to reload for a while now! All I need is some 308 dyes, brass, powder, projectiles and a case length gauge.
