It’s about that time of year again – so here are some holiday gift suggestions. I’ll also be listing some early & upcoming Black Friday sales shortly!
Edit: I’ll probably be adding to this over the next few weeks as I run across things or people make suggestions on our Facebook page.
Stocking Stuffers
Ammunition
A box or two of ammunition is always a great option for something that fits just fine in a stocking. Lately I’ve been doing most of my buying from SGAmmo, Target Sports USA, and Lucky Gunner.
Bleeding Control Kit / Basic Trauma Pack – $69.99
I wanted to include something like this in the list – and this particular one seemed to be pretty well reviewed. If anyone with more experience using this stuff has any better suggestions in this price range, let me know!
Maglula UpLULA Magazine Reloader – $27.49
If you don’t already have one of these, or know someone who shoots and doesn’t already have one of these – this is a no brainer. Trust me.
Under $50
Bushnell Magnetic Boresighter – $27
Especially if you’re getting someone some new optics (or know they’re getting or likely to get some for Christmas), one of these is handy – and will at the very least give ’em something to do with the rifle until they can get out to to the range to finish sighting it in properly.
Strelok Pro App – $11.99
So this might be an odd choice for a Christmas list since it’s not a physical good – but getting someone a Google Play / iTunes gift card for this one and giving them the link would be a great gift for anyone who’s thinking of getting into long range shooting. This app is phenomenal.
Available via Google Play Store or the App Store, for Android or iOS, respectively.
OSAGE RIVER Range Bag – $44.99
Everyone can use a good range bag or 2. Or 3.
Plano 1612 Water Resistant Field Box – $18.99
These make great ammunition boxes, among other things.
For People You Really Like
MagnetoSpeed Barrel Mounted Chronograph – $179
Caveat – I haven’t gotten a chance to use one of these myself yet, but they’re well reviewed, and for rifle shooting anyway, seem more handy than a traditional shoot-through chrono. If one of you do decide to get one of these, be sure to let me know what you think of it!
Caldwell Precision Shooting Rest – $59.61
Caldwell makes more than just sandbags for shooting rests. This is a nice middle ground between nothing and a full lead sled rig.
LaserLyte Laser Trainer – $98.99
So these are pretty neat – works like a snapcap, but flashes a laser point roughly where the point of impact would be. Granted – it’s a laser, there’s no drop, so this is more of a “make sure you’re not jerking the thing off target” than “practice at home” thing – but still pretty neat. You can also get some accessories for it.
So here’s the crown jewel of the list. If you’ve got someone you really want to make smile, this is an awesome piece of kit for the money. I could probably spend a whole article on this one and what it can do, but go check it out. Also worth noting, the list price on this one is $1679.99, get it while it’s hot!
