I have a very close friend that is somewhat interested in hunting, but extremely frugal. He won't spend the money on it, probably ever. I say somewhat interested because he did purchase the annual public hunting permit to join me on the e post card hunts, and we ended up winning g a squirrel hunt. Now he wants a 22 for the hunt.
He does a lot for me...a shade tree mechanic he has helped me with my vehicles since high school. He has been there to play catch over winter break in college. He helped me build my shed. He helps build computers... he is a true friend. Truth be told, I feel I can never repay him as he is the one I turn to for help. He never asks for anything in return. A true friend in every sense of the word.
That said, I thought about gifting him a 22. He only owns a shotgun for self defense right now. I talked to him about what kind he might want and he really wants the cheapest one he can get. If I got him one, I wouldn't go all out but I would definitely get him something reliable and nice. He deserves it.
My question is, for his first rifle and being an adult, should I buy one for him, or give him $*** in a gift card to go look them up himself and get one that he wants. Another concern is he will wait until the last minute, buy it, and it won't be sighted in. This is 99% guaranteed to happen if I don't buy it for him haha.
What say the green screen?
