How about driving a couple hundred miles to shoot prairie dogs and leaving the bolts to BOTH rifles at home. I was left with a carton of 22's for the 10/22 and a hundred rounds of 45LC for the pistol.

That was 35 years ago, haven't repeated it since.

FWIW

I would have bought a new rifle to match the ammo I had ready.

Now you're thinking Haka, as you pretty much always need another gun.

Hmmm, I wonder if that would work with the wife, leave the rifle home on purpose, giving you an excuse to buy a new one !

Good thing I read that through, though o0u were talking about leaving the wife home and buying a new one, rent or leas?

No, no, she's definitely the "better half".

With you or I the better half damn near has to be comparatively'

Haka, you need to work a little harder. My bride is always happy when I bring a new firearm home. She knows that I work hard to support her in the life of luxury she enjoys and does not begrudge me life's small pleasures.

At least I'm pretty sure that's what the tight smile and "that's nice, dear" means.

Or you could get a new gun case to go with the rifle and tell her you got a new rifle case.

I've always referred to mine as my "occasionally better half". I might not mind being able to "occasionally" rent a different one for contrast......

You took the words right out of my mouth OM, these guys better watch what they post or they will be eating cold beans right from the can! If their wives read this post, they'd be singing a different tune.

Sometimes a "contrast" can help you appreciate what you have. Many women help me notice my wife's best qualities, because they don't have them.

It's too late for "brown nosing" Ruger, the damage has been done. You better buy her something real nice for sweetest day. (and Greener the same)
