Help for gift ideas for my boyfriend??

[GunsR4Girlz]

Hello all, just wondering if anyone had any good gift ideas for my boyfriend's birthday... It's coming soon so please help! He loves this website. and he loves his guns! I was thinking of surprising him with ammo, then having a day at the range..then cake =) idk.. he wants this special flashlight, but I have no idea what it is or where to get it..he likes little gadgets or cool stuff that he can "show off" to his friends?? Any ideas???

is the flashlight for a handgun or shotgun? if it is for a handgun, i own couple of Streamline TLR-2. LED light with laser. if my wife got me that, my neighbors would be complaining about the noise that would occur that night.

The special flashlight is likely to be a SureFire tactical light or comparable brand, they're awesome and are not cheap, I think they start out around $200. (IE: I have a SureFire X300 on my handgun). A quick Google Shopping search brought up a few from $220-250.

Not sure how much you want to spend but the light may be a bit pricey for a b-day present for a boyfriend; I think ammo and a day at the range would be awesome!

If you want to do a bit more in addition to ammo and a day at the range, then maybe a gift card to a gun shop he frequents.

You can also check in the Ladies Forum to see what ideas they have and what's worked for them.

I think that is exactly what it is!! but.. Idk for which gun..?? are you selling yours?

[GunsR4Girlz]

I'm not too worried about the cost.. and that name does sound familiar! I'm going to look it up now! Thank you!

I'd vote ammo,
But if he really wants the flashlight and you don't know what kind....


Surefire has gift certificates.

Ammo and a range day sounds great to me.

[GunsR4Girlz]

okay.. the flashlight is a maybe! now.. here's my other dilemma, I don't know what kind of ammo to get! He has gloc, an AR15, a 12 gauge, a .17 rifle, a colt..I know the guns he has, just not the ammo that they take? suggestions? Oh and I want to take him to the chabot gun range in Castro Valley, CA. Is there any ammo that I should NOT look for because it may not be allowed???

[maschronic]

i would get a light for his gun. the light will always be there. everytime he sees it, he will see the pistol light. as for ammo, once you shoot it, it is gone. just my 2 cents

Chances are the AR15 uses .223/5.56 ammo (maybe you could sneak a look at some point to verify), and you can buy Wolf ammo pretty cheap for it to get him a few hundred rounds. If he reloads for it I would suggest getting him a box or two of Sierra 77 grain HPBT or Hornady 75 grain, those are some of the very best bullets to use with it.

As far as lights go, Fenix is great for the money and gives better performance than Surefire.

[GunsR4Girlz]

.223, thats right! Wolf huh? I'm looking into it! Thank you!

[GunsR4Girlz]

Okay! Thank you all for the replies! I figured out the perfect gift! I'm going with the ammo and range day @ chabot, then you know how you're always hungry after shooting? well I'll have lunch packed, and we can go have a fishing/picnic evening @chabot lake!! Perfect! Ok so nooow.. I just need to know, what brand of ammo is best for his .45 Glock???

[yellowfin]

For .45 just to shoot at the range, Load X has some really good prices.

Take him to a strip club.

I'm picky about my gun toys, boobs in my face, not so much.

here's a cheap but awesome reloading kit if he doesn't already have one. I asked about it here and people say it's a great starter kit if you want to save some money the first go around. This could get him into reloading and then he could save a TON of money on ammo for the rest of his life. just a thought. that website has plenty of other reloading kits and other gun supplies too.
