My parents surprised me today at lunch with a gift for my 40th B-Day
Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon shotgun
I'm feeling guilty getting something like this as a gift.
The gun came from a friend of ours that we meet up with a couple of times a year and hunt with out in Palo Pinto. He offered to sell it to me a couple of times, but I just couldn't justify dropping that kind of coin on a sporting clay shot gun.
I know he had 2 other people that tried to buy it from him, and he turned them down.
Not sure how Dad finagled this deal, but I literally teared up in the middle of Joe T's when he said it was out in the truck for me.

They were overcompensating for taking you to JoeT's.
