Pretty simple this year:

A new rifle:  20 inch barrel .308 bolt action

Leupold RX-III Digital Rangefinder or Leupold RX-IV Digital Rangefinder

 

 

And of course a TPS / SWFA deal....

I'll settle for getting some sleep.  Last quarter was tough.

 

Aside from that, I am looking at some low light binoculars, not sure which ones yet, but I am seriously considering something along the lines of a 7x42.

Nah.  I've had a few IOR binoclars and while I like them quite a bit, I want to try something I have not had yet.  Maybe Meopta.

Good stuff guys, I am re-thinking and going over all the numers and details with the scope I have on my wish list and a couple others that I have in mind. I am leaning more towards 1CM(thanks Hakan) clicks for speed vs the 0.5CM for extreme long distance(would work realy nice with a .50cal)which I do not have any need for at this time. Whatever scope I decide on, it is going to be my last scope purchase for a long time. My wife said get the one you want and put my name on it as your gift(yes). I wish the S&B new models were out already. I may also decide to get the FN rifle in 300WSM and wait a while for the new scope releases.

I'm a simple man.  A CZ550 fs in 9.3x62 with a 2x7 Kahles cl and some tickets to Alaska.  Not that I would turn down an Empire Mauser or a new Sportster...

 

A Randall #2 "letter opener" with a red micarta handle would be a nice stocking stuffer.

If somebody wants to buy me a knife, this Kressler Hunter would be nice.

I  got to stuff my own stocking so last night I picked up a Matthews Drenelin compound bow, and ordered Badger rings and base for a Rem.PSS. And in a couple of days I'm going to order a medium priced scope but I am still deciding which gun I want to put something on as both my .375 H&H rifles need scopes and I wouldnt mind having a scope for my flat top AR-15.
