Who said anything about a sense of humour

. Practically everything I have in my cabinets belongs to her, as it is

.

My wife shoots a Swedish military mauser in 6.5x55. I bought the thing for $60.00 Canadian, a couple of decades ago. Took off the military stock and put on a plastic sporting stock given to my wife by a friend. My gunsmith drilled and tapped the rifle and installed a 4 power scope. She's been hunting with this ever since she had to give up her M14, (government regulations). I've upgraded the scope a couple of times. The last time I did, she told me if I touched her rifle again, she was going to start gunsmithing on my rifles

.

Sitting down and cross legged with elbows on knees, she is deadly out to 350 metres. The last two deer she shot, they were 40 feet away

That year I did'nt get anything

.

I found a beautiful under/over in 6.5x55. I told her I was going to buy it for her. She then called me by my Indian name and said, "Listen vegatarian

,(old Indian word for lousy hunter), I do very well with my rifle and, ever since you started buying fancy rifles, you haven't got anything."

I then asked her if she would rather have a full length mink coat. My wife has always been fiscally responsible. She just smiled. I know what she gets for christmas next year and it ain't gonna be a double rifle.

So, to end a long and convoluted story, I can't buy her anymore rifles.

Kindest regards,
