Real Avid AR-15 Armorer’s Master Kit 
For the man who prefers to build his rifles and scoffs at the idea of running anything "off the shelf," the AR-15 Armorer's Master Kit from Real Avid is a must-have. This kit contains all of the tools required to build your own custom AR-15 from the ground up and comes enclosed in a hard-shell case, keeping everything not only protected but highly organized as well. Also included in this kit is a booklet highlighting the top 18 modifications every AR owner should know, should he run out of projects and find himself looking for something else to tinker with. MSRP: $249.99

Vism Rifle Case/Shooting Mat Combo
Offered by NcStar, the Vism Rifle Case/Shooting Mat Combo is my go-to long-range rifle case. Coming in at 48"x11", this case is spacious enough to house your rifle and optic with room to spare for a bipod (should you have one attached). Multiple interior and exterior pockets are ideal for spare magazines, extra parts, accessories, dope log and more, making packing for the range … and finding your gear when you get there ... a breeze! This case also doubles as a shooting mat when completely unfolded, should you find yourself down in the dirt pinging steel farther than you can see. NcStar has five different color options available. MSRP: $76.99

Lucky Shot .308 Bullet Whiskey Glass 
A favorite among whiskey enthusiasts, the .308 Bullet Whiskey Glass from Patriot’s Cave is certain to be a hit. Two features stand out with this gift: The first is the real .308 bullet from Lehigh Defense “piercing” the glass, and the second is the engraving of the Second Amendment. The special guy in your life can make a toast to freedom and those who protect it. Personalization options are available, as well as discounts for each additional glass purchased, just in case you know more than one man who appreciates a unique drink. MSRP: $21.99

Goat Guns Miniature Barrett Model 82A1 .50-Cal. 
Need some peace and quiet? Keep him busy one afternoon building his own model .50-cal.! Goat Guns offers miniature replica builds of quite a few popular platforms, so you are guaranteed to find one to please the gun enthusiast in your life. Coming in at approximately 13” long and 4.5” high, the 1:3 scaled Barret Model 82A1 .50-cal features a squeezable trigger, sliding bolt carrier group, adjustable scope placement and even three miniature .50-cal dummy rounds that can be “loaded” into the detachable magazine. MSRP: $44.99

Rugged Gear 2-Gun Shooting Cart Combo Package 
Whether he shoots in a variety of competitions, is going out to enjoy a game of sporting clays, or is simply looking for an easy way to transport gear around the range, the 2-Gun shooting Cart Combo is chock-full of features to make even the busiest of range days a breeze! This cart, available in three different color options, contains two long-gun mounts, locking “brakes” on tires, adjustable handlebars, drink holders, ammo tray, accessory pouch and more. A small six-can-capacity cooler for packing lunch on those especially long-range sessions is also featured.
