Christmas gifts for shooters

#1

Post by dws1117 »

Besides the obvious guns and ammo what are some unique gifts for shooters. What is that one gadget or gizmo for a shooter that noone really thinks that they need or wants until they use it and then they wonder how they ever lived without it?

I am looking for all kinds of suggestions in all price ranges. The challenge is the less expensive gifts.

Suggstions I've had from other friends include electronic ear muffs and one piece cleaning rods. What can you add?

Rubber cleaning mats are cool....they are cheap and some have an exploded view of the firearm...they keep all of the springs and little screws from getting lost. Patchs are also fun, especially if they carry a range bag....it is fun to dress them up!

Lee primer pocket cleaning tool - about $2 at Midway or Natchez. Works better than the more expensive RCBS brush.

Targets? Think Shoot-N-C

Ballistics software? For the reloaders out there.

Trial sizes of a few different cleaners / lubes?

A bore-sighting tool (seen some at WalMart for cheap).

A Gun-Tool set (slightly different sized than normal tools).

In august Mom got a 25-06 for her birthday. Her stocking stuffer will be a pound of IMR 4350 & 100 primers. (I get the other 900) :hurry: Total cost under $25.00. I picked up a set of RCBS dies & bullets at a garage sale a month ago.

A nice range bag.
Spotting scope for rifle shooters.
For CHL, alternate holsters such as a day planner, purse, etc.
Lock box bolted to vehicle for secure storage.
Gun locks or safe are required equipment and show your love if they don't already have them.
