Wadja get for Christmas thread

I could put a great cabinet shop in a pole building that size. And 15 wooded acres would make some nice trails for the dirt bike fan in me. Sounds like a great setup.

 

[sachsmo]

Yup!

We put a 1/2 acre pond in the first summer (9 years ago)

I have world class Bass, Bluegill and Yella Perch fishin' 100 yards out my front door!

Which way to the beach?

Experience my friend.

I was a proud owner of three boats in me day.

They are second to none for family entertainment.

My kids were grown and when gas hit $2.00 a gallon I sold my latest (and best) boat.

Started looking for a bike,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

That lasted about one weekend.

The wife wanted a new house, she got it.

But I chose which one, 15 wooded acres, 76x46 Morton pole building and 2 year old home.

Never missed my boat since!

Yup!

Or another saying is,

The second best day in a mans life is the day he buys a boat



































THE BEST is the day he sells it!

i have also heard if it FLY'S, FLOATS, OR F$%K's............RENT IT

 

[sachsmo]

That last one is very, very good advice!

Wouldn't shooting a lighter bullet faster exacerbate the problem?

If he's shooting 250's/255's now at standard velocity, then upping the velocity with the same weight(IIRC anyway) should raise the point of impact relative to point of aim(more recoil, although less time in the barrel). Mine had plenty of sight adjustment for 250's at 1000-1100, which is a couple hundred ft/sec faster than standard velocity. It's got a leupold on it now, been a while since I fooled with loads and irons on it.

That just seems counter intuitive. I'm going to have to load up some different bullets and experiment.
I've got a freedom arms premier .454/.45c that I can use. It'll handle any SAAMI load and then some.

I have not been home on Christmas in 7 years. I digress.... Post up your "scores"[/quote]

Where have you been the last 7 years?

Let's see that bad boy!

Here you go. Even though it's Magnaported, with 300gr full louse .454 loads, it's like shooting a hand grenade.

Oh that is some good ****

Nice book

And multitool !!

My Mom gives me a small check for Christmas. This year Santa turned it into a 600 watt USC. It should be here in a week or so. Got some small stuff, also.

 

[Wood Doctor]

Well, looks like a few of us get chainsaw-related things. Here's what I got:
(1) New pair of Stihl signature work gloves.
(2) New Stihl signature cap.

The guy that gave me these is a logger running Stihl equipment. I gave him these:
(1) New 36", 32", and 20" chain loops (3/8 063).
(2) Three new 7/32" files with a shop-made lathe turned hard maple handles and a shop-made holder.
(3) Two Stihl bar nuts and a shop-made felling wedge.

He needed new chains, had broken three wedges, and lost a bar nut. My favorite gloves were worn out and the dog did a number on my favorite cap. So, Santa took care of both of us. Cheers!

that's a sweet pistol.....and I agree on the recoil with full house rounds I have a 8 inch ported 454 raging bull and it has a wallop to say the least...

 

[derwoodii]

[phillipmc]

I got some hand tools (socket set, drill driver set ) new tires , few gift cards and permission from the wife to purchase a new Ruger SR40 and CCW holster for it. with some of the tax return money coming this year. Got the wife a leather purse to carry her CCW in and some makeup stuff she ordered online. The dog got a new chew toy. Fairly light christmas this year with my injury and all. Though first time in 3 years I got Thanksgiving and Christmas day off from work. Also thats some mighty fine Rugers you guys have there.

FYI those don't work very good after crashing into a sink full of dishy water. Speaking from experience here
