Great Looking stock!
 
I gifted a single .22 pellet to my apartment wall for the holiday. Oops. =D 

My sister gifted me some.22 rounds, but, they were for my powder-burners.. 

Yesterday, I gifted myself the components needed to put together an 95 cf air tank, 
as well as the first focal plane 6-24x50 scope I've had on my wish-list all year long.



Back to being broke as a joke now, 
but at least I'll do it with a smile on my face. =)

I spoiled myself all year this year, so, I didn't get anything for myself except another 16 tins of JSB MkII Heavies for my (new to me) FX Impact X .25 700mm. My trusty Shoebox compressor is purring like a kitten and gives me unlimited air, and now I have plenty of lead too. I never dreamed airgunning could be so good and I'm just dying for some good weather.
 
I didn't get any of the airgun stuff I wanted for Christmas. So I ordered a 4-gun Realtree whitewashed rack from Walmart site a lil bit ago. I needed it. But I did get some vintage hunter sorta colored plaid flannel shirts. And military style camo PJ bottoms. Realtree Edge camo moccasins too. Stay warm while partaking of some of that 1/2G of JD too! We went around the room, one by one opening presents to/from each other. and this after going to newlywed son's house dressed up for breakfast and more presents. Was a good day! Here's some pics I know y'all are waitin' for.

..............and........... something ive been wanting since 1985..... a real , authentic , old-style bsa supersport. they were $199 back then and rated at 840 fps in .177. the r1 was $299 and rated at 1000 fps. and the rws (diana) model 36 was $139 and rated 1000 fps.... i bought the model 36 from cabelas in 84-85 after saving from sacking groceries - and attending a hunter safety course my parents made me attend (i'll never forget that class - monte stallcup taught)... this one is in .22 , chronoed 680's with 14.3 crosman premiers today , has the thick metal solid trigger - and maybe i can put it on paper soon....i'm almost caught up on repairs ... ive had a couple .177 lighning xl rifles - which were super cool , but hold sensitive for me. the folks that bought them loved them. idk. i'd rather have .177 in the old-style supersport , but it hasnt worked out for me. i somehow ended up with a .22 bsa lighning tactical that shot very well for me (660 fps with 14.5 gr) , so i'm hoping this will be a good thing (for me). i find it strange that .25 cals of this powerplant are rated so high velocities...even using 17 grain bsa pylarm pellets...so i probably need one in .25 , too...

XL TACTICAL - .177, .22, or .25 cal., BBC, SP, SS, 1000/730/700 FPS, 14.5 in. rifled steel barrel, blue finish, all-weather black synthetic stock and adj. two-stage trigger, high impact polymer compound stock is always warm to the touch, provides secure grip and remains warp-free in all climate conditions, full barrel noise dampener, vent. rubber recoil pad, raised cheek pad, rubber cushioned, anti-shock sight mounting rail, 37.5 in.
