bozz Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Well score on a nice camo pump 20 ga. youth shotgun from Wallyworld ($159) to continue my third year in a row on buying my boy a gun for the holidays....started with a Rossi 410/22 combo....then last year got him a crickett .22,....and after his first Dove hunt trying to hit them little grey rockets with a .410 (he did get one)......I decided no more....just had to share I'm always proud to keep giving hunting gifts....when there is just so much competition for useless gifts......don't know what I can do for next year....lol...maybe time to upgrade the bow.....he will be 12 by then.Anyone else do this ??

Grant-KS Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Re: Holiday guns a tradition here...... Would you by any chance like to adopt me? LOL That's awesome. I wish my dad did that. Hehe Give him all the guns you want, but please teach him how to detail strip, clean, and properly lube every single one of them. Keep him supplied with Hoppes #9, q-tips, rods/brushes/jags/patches, and make him clean his own guns and take good care of 'em. I get sorta tired of seeing kids get free guns, then trashing 'em because they didn't work out in the hot sun 8 hours a day to buy 'em, and don't really care. I paid every cent of every one of the 2 rifles, shotgun, and 2 handguns that I have. Sorry for the rant. I think it's really cool that you and your son enjoy hunting together!

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks......yeah we clean our guns together.......he takes pretty good care of them........except once he left the nice little Rossi (very nice little starter gun) out in the garage a month and it started to rust in the case.....so I show him how to clean it with solvent....we shoot the.22's the most CB shorts are very quiet in the woods....oh and the little cricket .22 weights only 2.5 lbs.,.....good gun.....our Rossi has a red-dot and the Crickett is scoped.........both dead on....red-dot is best for close shots out of our blind when squirrel hunting.
