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.

With you or I the better half damn near has to be comparatively'Hakaman wrote:No, no, she's definitely the "better half".Good thing I read that through, though o0u were talking about leaving the wife home and buying a new one, rent or leas?

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......Hakaman wrote:No, no, she's definitely the "better half".Good thing I read that through, though o0u were talking about leaving the wife home and buying a new one, rent or leas?

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.
