Yo Bro... it's much easier to beg forgivness then to gain approval... ;)

RE: Reasons for a new rifle?
 

If you amortize the cost of a new rifle, shotgun, whatever over the life of it, I'm sure it's no more any the cost of a soda a week. $1.25 x 52 x 50 yrs = the cost of a several really nice guns.

It's cheaper than gambling and strippers! :D

RE: Reasons for a new rifle?
 

"Honey, I love you sooo much. I'm going to buy you a new rifle so you can go shooting & hunting with me. It's lonely on the range/out in the woods without you. And, being as it will be a 22LR, the ammo is cheap, and I'll have money left over to take you out to dinner now & then"
Of course, if she buys it, well, then go pick out your new Ruger 10/22, 77/22, Marlin 39A,
or whatever. :D

That's what I tell my wife.

Her response: "And just exactly how familiar *are* you with the cost of gambling and strippers?"

RE: Reasons for a new rifle?
 

Metro, First you tell the little lady you need a gun safe to secure your firearms against the increasing breakins near your home. Out of sight, out of mind. This works well for a few years until you tell her you need another safe. Than your on your own.:D

RE: Reasons for a new rifle?
 

My advice is don't teach her how real shoot well.She's liable to use it on you when you bring a couple more rifles home.I had that problem way back.Now she's gone, the rifles and I have been living happier ever since.

Ruger Redhawk

Tell her you saved up for it. Or show her the bills from Jewelry TV. ;)

Oh you poor dear soul... :(:(:(:(:(

As Dave would say, "AND TONIGHTS NUMBER ONE REASON TO GIVE THE WIFE FOR BUYING A NEW GUN..............."

Because this is still America and you damn well still want one!!!

ps
I wont bother with the "honey this is what I did before you met me" speech because obviously you did NOT have that in the first place or you wouldnt be asking this question! ;)

RE: Reasons for a new rifle?
 

Try this: Well honey its a case of ballistics & trajectories and it's a case of " I just don't have that covered ". If B*llsh*t dosn't baffle brains say " Whoops I thought you said OK ".

Good Luck
