RossM Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Well I've just told the wife to be that i'm applying for my FAC and will be getting a .22 Rimfire in due couse. She was not too pleased but I just smiled. She then asked where I was gonna get the money. So I told her I'd just make a little more with my odd jobbing after work etc. Her return was "Why dont you make alittle extra for us?" I cant win!! Still gonna get a rifle if i'm successful with the FAC application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm in the same boat. Everytime I want a new gun I have to go through the same arguments. i'm already working on getting some ferrets. Just tell her/them they are just like your mother.

Frank Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Great post. I once swaped a really old hornet that i had for a long time and the fella before me had for a long time too, for a new Anstutz Hornet Made money on the quiet when i told her i was hunting She never noticed the change of rifles, even when i was cleaning them in front of her. :o She knows me better now, will never get away with it these days. I did confess to her 2 years down the line though :*) , when she just happen to mention one day how my rifle looked as good as new after so many years.

bindi Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 When I had had my 12 bore for a while, I thought i'd like to have a play with a 20g so i went out and bought one, didn't tell the wife, but then showed it her when I got back with it. Said it would suit her and I'd like her to come shooting with me. GUESS WHAT, she came shooting with me and loved it, so in the end i had the stock shortened to suit her, so now its hers, just on my license. THEN, I went out and bought myself another (much nicer) 20g so that I could shoot with the same calibre as her ( You know, not taking loads of different boxes, it makes a lot of sense to some ) HEY HEY, I have what I want, and a missus who enjoys coming with me. GREAT No ear ache here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 When I bought my HW57 I had to get AXE on the phone to come and collect my old one!! To this day the wife doesn't know. Still I learnt my lesson, I have gone bald and grey with the worry. And there is me thinking I was the only one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browningstalker10g Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 it seems we are mostly in the same boat, but as we get older we learn to outsmart the missus, im just young and inexperianced, i get caught, but ill have to try out the soap idea and spill all the bad news when the hypnotic trance created by soaps is in effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
