Very nice. My Christmas bonus gets stacked on top of my paycheck so it launches me up into two higher-tier tax brackets, so I get less than half of it :cool:

This was the case where I work. After much complaining we were able to get it changed so that the bonuses come separately and are taxed at a yearly rate, rather than normal payroll of bi-weekly. That way we at least get most of our bonuses.
That said, that is a pretty cool bonus! Did you actually get that as a bonus, or did you just spend your bonus on that?

I really wasn't trying to sound unappreciative I am fortunate I get a bonus, I just wish it wasn't taxed like it is so I could truly enjoy it.

I knew what you meant and I agree. We didn't "complain" so much as point out that only about half of such a generous thing was actually getting to the intended people. It was agreed that the IRS really didn't deserve any bonus. :)
It was actaully bought as my bonus. I was ask by my boss if I had a $3000.00 dollar bonus what would I do he said I had 12 hours to respond. Well at the deadline all I could come up with was a nice midlength ar with high qaulity red dot optics. He asked where I would go for such a thing. I told him I liked shopping sportman's den. He said let's go. So next day we drove down he told me to pick out what I wanted. This is what I got. With two 420 rounds cans of federal xm855 green tip. I even got 3 boxes of .17hmr they had in stock and 3 boxes of .22 LR MINI mag, all in all a great bonus. My boss and close long time friend only ask that he gets to shoot it once in a while.

That's a pretty kick ass boss. I got a nice gift from mine and it means more than cash, personally. Good for you. It'll mean a lot when you're using it.
That's my thoughts as well. It will never be sold. It will be passed down.
I've always gotten a money bonus, but that really is a great story. It really personalizes your bonus. Thanks for sharing!
Good on your boss as that is a kick ass bonus. Congrats.
I'm blessed by my lord my country and my job.
I forgot another cool thing bought with it was magpul pro all metal backup sights.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/29/fa61fc762acce84ec5f980e175ade31c.jpg
