This is another great present that can fit under the tree or in the stocking. It’s a great gift for that gun owner who likes to go out on a snowy day and go shooting in the woods.
5. Tactical Christmas Stocking with Molle Gear
Why the heck not treat that gun owner in your life to a tactical Christmas stocking. A great tongue-in-cheek way of letting that person in your family know you appreciate their fine taste in gear. It holds quite a bit of loot and has molle webbing to attach extra goodies.

7. Peltor ComTac III Hearing Defender Electronic Earmuffs (NRR 20)
Peltors are considered one of the premium brands in electronic hearing protection. That gun owner in your life will certainly appreciate a solid, good headset that allows him to maintain situational awareness while still protecting his hearing. Peltor tactical headsets muffle the sound of gunshots while still tuning in for other noises like people talking or range whistles.

8. Splatterburst Targets – 12 x18 inch – Silhouette Reactive Shooting Target – Shots Burst Bright Fluorescent Yellow Upon Impact – Gun – Rifle – Pistol – AirSoft – BB Gun – Air Rifle
One of the best things a gun owner can do is practice his or her marksmanship and safety. Nothing helps this out better than a target that is responsive to shots. At distances of greater than 20 feet, it can be really hard to see the impact of rifle and pistol rounds on a regular paper target. Having a target that reacts to rounds with a fluorescent burst of yellow helps the shooter know what he’s doing right or wrong. The 50-pack is a great deal and it’s a great way to let the gun owner in your life have some fun after the holidays.
9. Ade Advanced Optics Reventon Series Strobe Green Laser Flashlight Sight for Pistol Handgun

Complete with a flashlight and a green dot laser, this pistol laser/light combo attaches to the M1913 rail system found on many pistols on the market.
10. Trijicon RMR Type 2 3.25 MOA Adjustable LED Red Dot Sight
Close quarters or medium, it’s nice to have a red dot sighted in. Trijicon RMRs are some of the industry’s finest red dot sights on the market. The 3.25 MOA is perfect for close to medium range targets and fits on any Picatinny rail mount system — typically found on most modern sporting rifles (MSR).
