Father's day is an opportunity to show your dad what he means to you. Chances are he is the foundation of your interest in firearms. Most of us were taught to shoot by our fathers at a young age, whether through sporting clays, plinking with a .22 or being brought along on our first hunt.
Father's day is a great chance to pay him back for bringing you into this hobby you have since grown to love. It seems only fitting that your Father's Day gift should bring you and your dad closer together by getting you guys out to the range for a few hours, but finding that perfect gift can be tough and time consuming.
We've gone ahead and done some of the leg work for you. Below we have compiled a list of the top ten gifts to get your dad this Father's day.

HiperFire | HiperTouch 24 3G Trigger A premium trigger is arguably the single most effective upgrade someone can make to a rifle. If your father has any AR-15 or AR-10 rifle laying around with a stock, mil-spec trigger in it, the

The thing that makes the 24 3G trigger unique is that it is a single-stage trigger with match-grade quality.
