Nothing wrong with being loyal to the wife and your hobby.

yea, that's the point she a lucky woman!

 

[SpeedwayMike]

Your wife gonna give you shit over $217 bucks?! WTF!! I dropped more than that on a case of 9mm yesterday, on a whim…..my buddy mentioned shooting, I drove by a gun store and grabbed some.

Come on man

I can’t drop 235 on a whim sadly that’s real money

 

[Broc]

Let's suppose you are out of town for work, and you happen upon a Remington model 11 12 gauge shotgun in amazing shape with a factory "dial a choke" and amazing engraving and wood checkering for the low low price of $217.

Do you go pick it up knowing the wife will find out?

Don't worry about it, I just told your wife, she is cool with it. Keys are on the roof.


JK.

I wish I only paid that much……it is what it is.

Seriously!!

a few years ago I came home with a brand new ATV, we had discussed the NEED, but I just went out and did it. She was, OK, with it. Not a week later, she calls me up from the dealership saying come pick up HER new quad!! Touche’.

She sounds awesome! Is she single?

I blew up a snowmobile in Fort Kent ME and came home with a fresh one. No call home. Blew that sled up in Canada the next year but did call home. She said please don’t come home with another new sled.

Hopefully they had a used model on the floor….

A friend of a friend brought home a 250k plus wake boat from a boat show…..wish I could pull that kinda move!

Wife or sled?

Unless they are both financed out of necessity. Then I guess you still belong with each other .

Nice shotgun. Browning was a genius. I'm up to 3 browning auto 5s and the model 11 is the same design just made by remington minus the mag cutoff lever.

I'm not a fan of those poly chokes though they don't work that well and are ugly as f***. Wouldn't stop me from buying it though.

No.

You expense it, and tell the boss you spent it on entertaining clients.

I could. But that wouldn't be honest.

I live by this.

Who lives in falsehood slays his soul; who's speech is false, his honor

I explained it to my wife when she became my steady girlfriend and had a say in how we spent shared money.
I showed her her shoe closet. I explained that I saw 4 identical black shoe pairs. She told me they were different. I said I didn’t care, they seemed the same to me but not her - just like my guns.
I told her let’s be real, when she buys 12 pair of shoes, I’m good for a gun or fishing rod.
Thirty years later we’re still fine with each other’s stupid purchases.

She knew at that moment that you won't know the difference anyway.

That takes huge balls.

The sled was brandy new on the floor. Actually where I limped to they had new sleds. I just started building it up at that point for a lot more fun.

Far from it!!

Way less guys yelling about being an alpha on this thread than the guy that wanted a camper

 

[JDL]

WTF how is that even a question?

 

[LakeTrout]

That’s bird has probably paid more for a sack to hold her other crap in. So, ya. I’d do it.

Tell her, I suppose if I was getting a hard time I would stay out of town.

You can't spend 250 bucks without worrying about your wife you have marital problems.

 

[Amputee Marksman]

Something we finally agree on!

 

[DW357]

The more important question is why are you frightened of your wife?

This.
I buy whatever I want and my wife NEVER asks me how much or do you really need it etc. No way to live running every purchase by your wife.
When I bought that Hungarian AK last month she's like wow that's a nice one.
