This is a discussion on Who's Getting or Got a gun for Christmas within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Actually got this a few days before Christmas, but my wife says it is a Christmas present anyway.......
S&W Model 686 + 7 rounds, 357 ...
I myself didn't get any guns, but I gave my father a really nice rifle. here are some pics. Its a Mauser model 3000 7mm mag with a 3-9x40 Leupold scope. I bought it for him, cause I want to plan a bear hunt for us this fall.
I ran across this revolver in a local shop at a price that I could not believe. It was marked at about $200 less than the norm for my area. I went home and told my wife about the gun and the deal, she just looked at me and said "Merry Christmas!!!" I went back to the shop first thing the following morning. The gun was still there so I purchased it.
forty - many of us have and cherish great wives - I am one. You are another!
Mine is used now to seeing in the safe when open - many things over time ''appeared'' <cough) - no probs - she knows we have investment and - now she has CCW etc is more interested.
In fact one day some time back - we took a lot (I mean, a LOT) of stuff to the range and had a ball.
She shot darned well for a relatively inexperienced shooter - showing me too what she could do with the AK - it was impressive! She shoots best with a 4" M66 but carry for now anyways is Bersa .380 - and she is good with it!!!
