Haha
All the discussion on new rifles and varminting etc etc... its going to my brain. I just ordered a brand new Savage Model 93R17-GLV! Should be here in a week or so. Out the door price including tax and the background check will put final price at $225.
There are some fine .17 gun makers out there but the Savage G LV has the bolt on the correct side of the gun for once so that was the deciding factor for me
Cant wait to get it... will start looking for a scope as well for it. Oh yea... did I mention my wife is out of town for the weekend? Wait till she sees the bill... its HER fault for leaving me alone
Cant wait to get it!

My boss won a Savage Model 93 at a raffle. He asked me to set it up for him. I mounted a 3x-9x scope, installed detachable sling swivels and a sling. He took it on a coyote hunt and liked it. The only thing that bothered me was the price of 17HMR ammo. All the best...

Hello Dallan,
You're quite right. It is our fault. We are indeed bad influences. Explain that to your wife. I'm sure she'll understand! Just to be certain, you might check your charge card statements for the next few months. Sometimes they take their revenge out on a guy without ever saying a word. You could be in for a good fight. Then again, some women tend to be understanding about our needs. It's important she understand, your rifle purchases are not wants but "genuine needs." Oh boy! Best wishes.

Oh Cal,........did you hit the nail on the head or what? My local trading post, where I do most of my business, has a "don't call" policy when your order arrives. 'nuff said.
All the best......Blaine

DallanC,
Sure… blame it on us!!! You're in the doghouse this time, big boy
Mrs. C. may never leave you home alone again!
Ok… to make amends just tell her you bought it for both of you to use and it was on SALE. Anything on sale makes it perfectly okay in a woman‘s eyes and she will love her new rifle.
BTW… I’ve got a spare bedroom, keys under the mat.

Let me tell you how it worked with my wife one time. We usually discuss purchases prior to making them, especially when the budget was kinda tight. One time without informing her, I bought a rifle and when she saw me carring it in, WOW, small explosion.
After a day or two, I realized I should have talked it over with her first and to smooth things over some, I bought her a dozen roses on the way home from work. When I gave them to her she remarked " Now I guess you expect me to be on my back with my legs in the air ,heh?" My reply, "Gee Hon, don't you have a vase!"
Good luck...and with the gun too!
Bill

ROFL!
My wife would shoot me if I said anything like that... and shes a good shot too. On a serious note she did know I was planning on buying it she just didnt know when. When I told her it was ordered she was mildly surprised but didnt care overall. There wasnt anything I really wanted for last Christmas so she felt a bit guilty she didnt get me anything (I told her I didnt need anything and its fine)... so I told her I concider this a late Christmas present
Now when I brought the gun in through the door with the new scope and rings... she immediately said "Wait you bought a scope too???". I said "sure, a new scope is implied in the purchase of a gun... didnt you know that?" She sighed and walked off
