Well dad pulled a good one on me. The adults in our family generally exchange gifts. Usually its us four boys giving to our mom and dad, and they usually give us a little bit of money. This year however was much different. There was a long gun shaped package waiting for. Me when we took the kids over for Xmas dinner. We don't and never have exchanged guns so I just assumed it was a decent case. Gift time rolled around it was lugged over to me. I positioned it to open it and thought it was awfully heavy. Anyhow with some help I extracted an SKB industries rifle case. I assumed correctly. However ive never owned one so again assumed all of that weight was in the super duty of a case. Opened it up. I was wrong and speechless. Inside was his fathers near perfect Winchester model 52-D. I was honestly, literally speechless. Just staring. Nearly had a tear in my eye. Think its safe to say he did too.
He said quote "It was one of my dads favorite rifles. I dreamed of having it like you do. he said i could have it when he was dead, and he meant it. I dont guess I see the sense in that. What do you think?" I had to compose myself and make sure he knew how much i cared. It was a great Christmas. One I'll never forget. Merry Christmas Firing line.
