1/1/2012 1:20:24 PM
I was very fortunate this year that my awesome wife got me a few things I asked for, instead of clothes, although she did get me a nice sweater. 
I got a bipod, pod lock, scope covers, and a go / no-go gauge from the wife.
A chronograph from my grandparents
And I got myself an electronic predator call, predator decoy, and a bag of 50 new 308 brass.
I got a base and rings for my 308 from my dad.
Academy gift cards from my mom and brother
Sister got me a camo insulated mug for the woods

Some cash I'm going to use towards either an Aimpoint Pro or Leupold Prismatic for build #2
74 piece gunsmith screw driver set, steel punch set, roll pin starter punch set and a little ammo.
In the spirit of Christmas I was able to surprise my father-in-law with a beautiful S&W 52-1 that I stumbled across by accident.
While at a local gun show trying to sell one of my AR's (to fund one of the optics above) I came across the opportunity for this trade. Since my FIL had given me several
guns at Christmas over the last 22 years this was an opportunity for me to get him something he really wanted. The model 52 is a semi-auto
that shoots 38 Special wad cutters. This particular 52-1 was made in the early 60's and was probably 98-99% in condition. Anyway, my 90 year old FIL
once had this model but had regrettably sold or traded it many years ago. It was a joy watching him shoot it as he did so many years before as a military marksman.
This was a great Christmas indeed

I'm impressed with the Weaver Tactical stuff. MSRP is a bit steep but street prices are great. I hope they bring a few more options out.

I bought it "used" but it was done by Troy at InRange. And it was an ak105 kit to be more precise. One of these days I'll chop the barrel off maybe.

Wife took a second job when I deployed for my Chrsitmas presents.
Marlin 1895 SBL
Sent off for takedown conversion, action job and installing WWG ejector, trigger and springs. Will be redone in Gunkote.
The first firearm she has bought me and its something special.
She's having it engraved and I found out from the Gunsmith that he is going to add a very special addition to the rifle as well. I'm at the point where I'm scared to take this rifle out to shoot because of all the meaning it has now.
The wife then said that ammo for 45-70 is expensive to which I sighed and agreed. She then said to go ahead and buy a reloading set up that will push out 45-70 along with the other calibers I fancy. Found a great deal on Redding products and was able to get the T7 turret press with all the goodies. The wife was good to me this year. Helps make the time fly in this dump.

Cool. I've been watching panel prices and the price per watt has come down substantially from a year ago. If I don't get hammered by Uncle Sam on April 15 I'll be doing some solar shopping.
Keep us posted on your project
