New way to buy a gun

[wvbuckbuster]

Thursday my wife had a dental appointment. On the way home I stopped by couple of gun shops that I hadn't been in for awhile. Had been looking for a new range toy so to speak without breaking the bank and in a caliber that I was already setup to load for. Found something of interest in the second one, a CVA Cascade Heavy Varmint in 223 Rem. Talked to them a bit about it and asked about a trade item I had. Yesterday i suggested to my wife that how about we go to that gun shop, I can pick up that rifle and, on the way home we can stop and eat at a small restaurant we like. She was all for it. Not that Vicky gives me any grief about buying more firearms, not lately anyway, but it played on her good side so to speak. As the old saying goes " Happy wife happy life". Love it when a plan comes together.

That’s awesome.
I made the mistake of having my girlfriend now wife do some shooting. Now 13 years later she has an impressive collection of firearms. To make it even worse, one of her favorite stores is Weatherby in Sheridan WY. We have been there a few times. When we walk in Coery says “Hello Sue”!
I guess I didn’t think this one through …..

I generally squirrel away undocumented cash to buy guns and then store them at my office until I have the opportunity to smuggle them home and into the safe. Then it’s just a matter of not having too many out at one time. Every now and again I’ll come out and say that I’m buying a gun when I can come up with sound reasoning.

My wife doesn't shoot so I can't "buy her rifles". But, if she knows I have a project going, she will sneak down to the gunsmith's and put some money down on the project. She says to me, "I don't know what else to get you". I have a GREAT wife!

If you haven't read the story "Gunrunning" by Patrick McManus, you should. It's in his "Grasshopper Trap" book.

Susan hasn't had any issues with my buying/selling firearms/etc over the years, as the bills are always paid, and there is food in the fridge/freezer/pantry. And she is glad that I am not out spending money on cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, etc. And she gets to shoot and hunt too!

All goes back to when we first got together, and she asked why I needed so many rifles, and I looked out the window at the coral and asked her why she needed so many horses!

You must have heard this phrase from her many times " If you buy one, I'll buy one too "

You should get more serious about fishing. When I bought a new trolling motor and a livescope package my wife said “More fishing stuff?!? Why can’t you drink and gamble like normal men??”

Do you know her?
That’s exactly how it works!

And I bet he says "Where's Sue?" if you walk in by yourself!

Susan is always on me as why we don't go fishing more often!
With the accident and our recoveries this year, we won't be getting the boat out onto our favourite small lakes!
Means we will have to take more time to do so next year!

I am lucky that Susan doesn't feel the need to have more firearms!
She's happy with her 6.5 CM, 250 Savage, 28 gauge, 10/22 and Browning 22LR pistol. (Although she says my 6.5 CM is prettier than hers... )

Perfect opportunity for you to gift Susan your 6.5 CM.

Well said, Jim. Hopefully, Gil (or Susan) will heed your sage advice.

A guy can only go so far!!!
She already got my Sporting 28!
And after she shoots my 25 CM, I'm sure she'll have designs on it too!

Our wives own half our stuff anyways. And if we buy them or give them a few guns, we’d still have to scope them and do load development. It’s a win win.

Don't I know it!
The only pay back is I now own half a 1970 Challenger Legacy R/T with a 440 Magnum!
At least I get to drive it once in a while too!

 

[JD338]

Awesome Gil!
It’s gun related because it got a four barrel (carburetor).

A guy has to get to the range in style to shoot one's guns!
And when you fire all 4 barrels at once, there's substantial muzzle (er, muffler) blast and recoil!

Apologies to WVBB for hijacking the thread! But I know you have a great sense of humour and would probably appreciate this sidetrack too! After all, muscle is muscle, regardless of the platform!
