Example, I bought a Cooper .221 FB from Mr Frame, it cost me two $700 recliners. That’s what it took to get SWMBO’s OK for that Cooper.

I learned that lesson awhile ago when I got it into my head to just go out and buy myself a new atv. I had the damned thing for three years and finally got rid of it because it was always a thorn in my better halfs side. Remember NO MEANS NO . By the way whatever happens to work for you don't keep it a secret. Us old married guys need all the help we can get when it comes to buying our big toys for big boys.

Inform her that the little sub-calibers bounce off coyotes and if you had one it would save untold lives. If all hunters used them Bambi would still have a mother. IP: Logged Tim Behle Administrator MacNeal Sector Member # 209 posted January 02, 2004 06:49 PM                       Sorry Tony, But I've got to disagree this time. It's always been easier to get forgiveness than permission for me. If I ask and she says "NO" then I'm screwed. If I just wonder in the house with a new rifle, then I just say "But don't you remember a few months back and you told me that when I saved enough money off of my Overtime I could get...." She's getting older at the same rate as me, sooner or later she's bound to forget something. Until then, I'll just claim my bad memory, or that I misunderstood. "I made a dumb mistake honey, I'm sorry, I'll try to remember never to do it again" Edit: Crap, I left this window opened and walked away. Now I'm screwed too!

When the box arrives, you remove the address label. Next, place the box on the kitchen table. When she comes home from work, tell there is a package for you on the kitchen tabel. She opens it and is so pissed, she actually vapor locks and passes out. While she is in a pile on the floor, put the weapon in the gun same. When she wakes up, half of her anger and wind has been taken out of her sails, however, the remaining half is still a bitch, but well worth the gun. She will get over it. Yeah, right! Norm, go for it! Bruce -------------------- "There are lion chasers, lion catchers, and lying SOB's."

I'll make a deal with you... You test it out with your wife's new wall tent, then I'll try it out here with a rifle. We will wait for you to post your test results. -------------------- Carpe Diem Posts: 778 | From: Phx AZ | Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged John/Alaska Knows what it's all about Member # 25 posted January 08, 2004 05:57 PM                      You guys crack me up!! I'm not sure that I would try Bucksnorts method (he has got a year or two on me!) but I will say "go for it!" Don't know if I can help Norm but what I do is just put a new rifle, pistol or bow on my x-mas or birthday list. Guess what? So far I have obtained better then 80% of what I wished. Timing has sucked sometimes but evenually I do get get it even if I have to beg for forgiveness later. Actually I have used "But dear I have to fill up that gun safe that you got me for x-mas, don't I?" Got a 45-70 guide gun with that one!! Or "But dear me and the grandson can go squirrel hunting!" I'm still laughing.

I think I can accomplish this for about 50% of the new A/R thus have money left over to put in on hunt buddy bids!!! BuckSnort, get that tent yet?? -------------------- Carpe Diem Posts: 778 | From: Phx AZ | Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged Tim Behle Administrator MacNeal Sector Member # 209 posted January 09, 2004 07:26 PM                       Norm, I've been wanting to reply to this for a couple of days. But wanted to confirm what I heard was true. PS magazine had a thing in it the other day about Brownell's now selling Remington M700 SA. I finally got a chance to look it up, and it's true. They come in a choice of .223 or .308 boltfaces. Sounds like just what you need. No need in prowling the pawn shops, you can the a new action, with out having to buy a new rifle. -------------------- Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass kickin'.

Did you lose your %$$^&^76*&@ mind? You said you would never $%^%^$#&^ do that again, you %$##$&&^&^ ^$^&*(&*(&*!!!! You owe me %$#&^%$$$ big time! I want some $$^%&^%%^%^%^%^ equal time and some %$^&$# compensation. Just look at how much that #$@#$$ tent costs. You %$$#%%%% idiot, you can stay in &^%$$&*&* motels for the rest of your life for what you paid for that &^%$&^&^&^ tent!" "But dear"......"Dear my #$%%$#, that #$%%#$$% tent is going back!!!!! So, since I could not have a tent, I thought, "I will buy her diamond earrings, and demand equal money for a tent." So I did, and they were a big hit for sure. I waited 3 months, and then prepaired myself to beg and plead for all I was worth. "Honey bunch, since you got diamond earrings, I think it only fair I get a nice wall tent." "You %$#%^$^^ %^$%#$$$%$% %$%$%$%$%$%$% blooming #$#%$$%$%$%$%$% stupid $$%#$%$%#$$ idiot, that is your problem! You are still not getting a $^^%$$$%$$$ tent! I guess my next move, is to buy a big wall tent, and pay extra for a cash receipt that indicates I paid $2.00 rather than $2,000.00. Yep that will work. You see Norm, I know all about this vapor locking stuff. -------------------- "There are lion chasers, lion catchers, and lying SOB's."

Not, if you like your happy home. What is it? How did American females gain so much power? Give up and give in, before it's too late. And, don't listen to all of those macho men, either; they don't have a clue. Hey, I sent you an e-mail, half way expecting a response? I don't know what it is with you and Nistetter, I never get through to either of you? I suppose your machine automatically dumps spam in blocks of 50? Well, wasn't important, whenever you get a chance. Good hunting. LB edit: from what I remember of Chris; she is way too mellow to be spouting all of those %*&$ that I see above. I ain't buying it.

To all, I am only playing about my wife. My little 5 foot 1 inch wife is a real keeper. She is a sweetie for sure, but dang, I still do not have a wall tent. I guess I can carry on and such, and plead my case on the board, and hope somebody feels sorry for me. Take care. -------------------- "There are lion chasers, lion catchers, and lying SOB's."

My wife seems to always be on her knees worshipping me. She tells me “Come out from under the bed and fight like a man!” So I mistakenly do. I always win, though, she gets tired easily from kicking me and passes out from exhaustion. That is winning isn’t it. I mean, I can usually stand up afterwards. Also, whatever you do don’t tell her “I bring home the money, I’ll do what I want with it”. I forgot that she does the grocery shopping and she does what she wants with the food. Anyway, good luck with the groveling, err I meant pleading.

The stock and barrel can be sold for $75-$100. Doesn't make much sense to pay $400 for just the action.

The pros and cons of each approach need to be highlighted and then at thend end, what is a pro for me (e.g. buy a new package for more money) is a con to someone else (save $200 and build it yourself). In discussing the action idea with Tim, he highlighted that he had never seen the short action sold by itself before so presented it as an option. I am off to view a Interarms Mark X mini-mauser action this afternoon... I have read that they may not be the smoothest actions in the world, so I will be interested in looking at it. -------------------- Carpe Diem Posts: 778 | From: Phx AZ | Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged Greenside seems to know what he is talking about Member # 10 posted January 12, 2004 08:48 AM                   Reminds me of a joke.

Never get a new gun case always use the same one when entering and exiting the house. However, when purchasing that first gun safe, make sure it is the biggest one on the market and never let her look inside. Posts: 185 | From: Idaho | Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged
