I just found out tonight, that I am going to be an uncle for the 3rd time. I made a promise with my brother's 1st, that I would buy his/her first deer rifle if it was okay with him. I then offered the same when they had their 2nd. I will now offer for a 3rd time. I am starting to think he just wants me to buy them/him new deer rifles!![:D]

His oldest is only 5, so I have some time to save for the 3rd. Already have 2 .308's put away for the 1st and 2nd.

    My grandfather did the same thing, all of his grandsons recieved a bb gun when we turned 5, .22 when we turned 6 and a Shotgun when we turned 8. We all recieved different guns and all were bought used. I got a Sears Model 25, a Winchester 1400 20ga and a Daisy 770. The Daisy wore out by the time I was 12, but the other 2 might not be worth much but are the most valuable guns I own.

    It's is very good of you to take care of those kids like that, they will remember it for life.
