Another good Christmas gift today.

A mate dropped in with a 105mm case.

As Darly Kerrigan would say - it will go straight to the pool room.

450 NE for scale.

Very nice. Think I might have been born in the wrong century with my love of books and libraries.

I bought myself a new travel humidor is all this year.

The Rigby Dagga Boy book, and also the extremely high quality Fieldsports magazine, it transports you to another world.

Santa floated right on by this year. Didn't even bother to leave a lump of coal in my sock. At least that way it's easy to fool myself into believing I was a good (old) boy last year.

Decided to treat myself and ordered a 4-1x Bushnell scope last night for the 404. Nothing fancy. Reticle isn't lighted and no Christmas tree increments. Just a duplex crosshair. Good enough for buffalo work. It has much better eye relief than the old Weaver 3x and clearer glass. That Weaver looks like it's been to war. Even has a chip in the glass of ocular end. Surprising it still works. Probably happened when the horse rolled on me back in '81. I've decided to move it over to the 1940s Marlin .22. Hopefully I can find a rail or bases that will fit that gun. If not, I'll make something.
