Hey lads - Im looking for present ideas for shooting buddies - I have wives and mothers calling me all week looking for hints. Guys mostly rough shoot but some deer stalk with me... budgets would be roughly 100e - 150e. I told them all to buy cartridges last year so need something new, So any ideas....

Knives

Boots

Wellies

Clothing

Lights/lamps

Ammo

Shooting sticks

All of these are the "usual suspects". Problem with anything else is the specific nature of some things. Lads prefer certain types or need a specific brand/type and if the person buying is a non shooter they won't know one end of them from the other.

I absolutely hate gift vouchers, seriously, but if stuck it sometimes is the best option. Buy one from the dealer they use and let them pick themselves.

If they do not already have one, how about a Wheeler FAT torque wrench, specifically for firearms.
