If I start getting cranky, she asks the following questions in order:
Have you taken your pain medicine?
Are you hungry?
Do you need to buy a gun, or gun project?
I have a Sako 579 action, and have ordered a Bartlein #2 profile barrel and a McMillan Sako Hunter style stock, all for a 7mm-08 built to target rifle tolerances with a little slop for dusty conditions. Next year I will get her a 20-gauge Benelli M2.
Any woman that can put up with me deserves the best that I can provide.

Well, congratulations lawndart! You do have a good lady!

And Mike, there is at least one other good hearted woman who not only tolerates her man but spoils him as well. And I claimed her in June 1964!

I have to say a wonderful, supportive, understanding wife is an awesome thing. Found one myself 22 years ago. She has let me buy and build many a great rifle with just a smile. Only got in a little trouble once. Apparently she planned to buy me a nice two barrel set, SXS 20 ga and SXS 45-70 for Christmas. The problem ... I bought it before she did. Now she has to figure something else out. LOL.

Lora and I have been married 26 years and even though I haven't bought or wanted to buy a gun in quite a few years, her standard response has always been "If You Want It And We Can Afford It, Buy It".


Even the rocks don't last forever.

oldMy spousal story is a little different!
I married my second wife 41 years ago. We went fishing every week and shooting about once a month.Her first rifle was a 22 rf that I personalized for her. She got good with it so I bought her an expensive 22 target rifle. Well after some time ( perhaps a year ) she asked me why her rifle doesn't sound as loud as everyone else ? This lead me to have Elmer Spurger of Grand Junction build her a 38 special with a 16" barrel on a #3 Ruger ; the perfect lady's paper punching rifle.
One day she let her 10 year old nephew shot it and he was shooting < 1/4" groups at 50 yds. just like my wife did. His comment to her was " Aunt Celeste anyone can shoot as good as you with that rifle.".
Confused I can't fallow the logic but she never went shooting with me again. beerroger


Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

A few months later on a cool November morning 2016, grandma got her first deer, with a Tikka in 270Win. Shot was taken at 208 yards from the trees across the open stretch, DRT:


And we were on a roll, in the afternoon she returned a kiss on my deer:

Conserving creation, hunting the harvest.
