It's the same old story, Tim.
The first one I heard was why do I need two guns? Then it was; why do I need two rifles, or two pistols or two shotguns?
This later changed to: "why do you NEED ANOTHER gun?"
If anyone has a good answer for that one....I'm all ears!
Good hunting. LB

Hey Leonard,
If your wife does away with all your guns, you can always use that knife Tim just stick between your shoulder blades for killing them if you can get them in that close. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Just remember what Ron White says, "Diamonds... That'll shut 'er up!" ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Cdog911,
You forgot part of Ron's line. "Diamonds... That'll shut 'er up!..... for a little while"
And don't tell me about a knife, I didn't open this can of worms. I just don't like to catch hell and be lonely at the same time! ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
One of these days, I'm going to have to take her to some of the other callers on this baord's homes and show the wife what a real gun collection looks like. I've a long way to go!
BTW, Leonard, I noticed on the first page you finally admitted that the "Sub-calibers" work. Have you bought one of your own yet?
--------------------
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take
an ass kickin'.

Have I broken the faith? No, my guns have to meet certain minimum utilitarian purpose.
...as opposed to bows and arrows, yeah a subcaliber works to a limited extent. Hey, if you are happy, I'm happy.
Good hunting. LB
PS, if I did buy one, I'm not sure I'd admit it? ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

I feel sorry for you guys, or very lucky for myself, not sure which.
My wife encourages me to buy more than what I want, within reason of course, can't bust the budget.

I happen to have 22/250 and 223, and love them both. Use them for different stuff. my 250 shoots 55 gr. real fast and flat and wears a 4.5-14 Leupold. It is my "go to" all round predator gun, for cats on down. My 223 wears a 3-9 leupold and I love it, 45 grain Win. Wally world ammo goes into 3/8 inch. groups. great rifle, quiet, fun, reduced loads will be tried next.
the 223 will kill yotes at extreme range if you can shoot it, my personal longest with 223 was about 450 yds. had to hold more than a whole coyote high, but it just dropped, hit in the shoulder. yup I have two wittnesses.
I dont ask or tell my wife about new guns, I just buy them. besides it is my duty to help my Brother keep his gun store in the black!!
