Unfortunately shooting and hunting isn't the only thing my wife isn't interested in anymore......

I remember, (when I was married) my wife was on one of her rants. She told me that if I purchased one more "gun, " she would leave me. I immediately left the house, drove to a large department store. I purchased a new 7mm Ruger M77, a matching scope, and a suitcase. When I got home I showed her the new rifle. And smiling, handed her the suitcase, and told her that was for her. Having given her a gift, you would've thought she would have been happy. But no... That woman was furious. Women are hard to figure some time.

I say if money is not the problem, then buy things (within reason of course) that make you happy. My problem is space right now. I hate clutter and rifles leaning in corners do not please me. So I have stopped buying rifles for now.

LOL...You sound a lot like me when I was married. Key word being "was".

Cayugad, if you want to clean up a little, you can send some of those rifles out to me and I can store them for you.

That's funny Dave! Fortunately, my Mrs. and I have a great marriage going on 19 yrs. now. She is also a hunter, shooter and a gun lover (although she doesn't own as many as I do) so if I were to come home with a gun and a suitcase, she would probably say "I'll take the gun, you can have the suitcase"....BPS

Cayugad, your story reminds me of the old saying, "I got a gun for my wife. Best trade I ever made!"

Yeah but you can't blame her for that... Its okay, it happens to every guy your age, it doesn't make you less of a man.

I didn't know you had been married! I always thought the stick floated the other way with you
