    Hey everyone. Been a while since I've posted on here. I've been keeping up on the reading, but haven't had much time for posting.

    Anyway, my father has helped me a lot with my house that I just bought and as a thank you I'd like to get him something he can use. Under $200 suggestions please. I figured I'd give you an idea of what he has to help with the suggestions.

    Left handed stag arms 223
    Bunch of rifles
    300 win mag is his favorite
    A lead sled rest
    Rockchucker presses
    Hornady case lathe
    Wet tumbler
    1000 bullets he still hasn't reloaded for 223
    Cases coming out of his ears
    Bunch of powder
    Dies for everything he reloads

    He no longer hunts, but loves to shoot. Only other hobby he has is watching sprint cars.

    I'm sure you guys have had people that you want to get something for that has everything you can think of. Help me out please. Once I get it I'll post back on here a picture of whatever it is, with a big thank you to whoever came up with it.

    I can't wait to see some of the ideas....

    I'm a fan of a "basket" style gift

    Include items like

    Boresnake
    AR Mag
    Nice hearing protection
    Black rifle coffee
    Light weight shooting shirt
    Sunscreen
    Shooting glasses
    Couple boxes of cheap ammo



    Or if you really wanted to do one big gift.....might I suggest and upgraded AR trigger

    Haha literally was laughing at the fidget sprinter. He has a geissle ssa in his ar or the trigger would be a great idea. The range we shoot at has designated distances. I like the basket gift idea. And I like The chronograph one too. I actually like all the ideas. He's just very difficult because he has most of the things I could come up with. And we go out to dinner at least 3 times a week. Keep em coming guys. This helps.

    Lincoln Speedway is just north of Hanover PA. Sprint car racing on Saturday nites.
    It's not far from me but it's probably an hour and a half from Glen Burnie.
    What's his favorite track?

    Seriously, Chronograph . The only obvious shooting related gap he has . And with all the handloading related stuff you listed , he would enjoy and make use of it.

    If not that, go non- shooting related.
