We have a proud, new gun owner in my family.

My wife has a birthday today. I bought her a Savage MKII and gave it to her at the party this afternoon. She was very excited.

She never was against guns and even tried my .44 mag when we were dating almost 2 decades ago. (Big mistake on my part). But earlier this year, I finally got her to the range with me. She shot my 10/22 and even asked to try my AR, which she kinda liked.

So this is HER rifle. I won't shoot it other than to sight it in. She can't wait until school starts so we can head to the range.

And happy birthday to the lucky lady.

 

[DRob]

Nice start! That could be the first of many for her. And happy birthday to her.

 

[Bfish]

Very nice! Can't go wrong with a 22! I hope she loves shooting it!

 

[Ddillard]

Happy birthday and happy shooting.

 

[singlesix]

She certainly looks like she likes her present. Happy Shooting!

 

[Cameramonkey]

Good for her!!!!

So you post a picture of your Daughter and try to convince us it's your wife. Sure. Seriously, beautiful lady and congrats on her new rifle.

Anybody can buy a .22lr, not everyone can afford to feed it.


Outstanding! Looks like she'll really enjoy that.

Most cool.
Optic..??

It came with a fixed 4x Tasco. We will see how it holds up and if it needs replaced, I'll see what she wants to go with. She likes the rod dot on my AR so that is an option.

This is her opening it at the restaurant today. A few months ago, my dad gave me my .243 in the same section of the restaurant. My daughter, on the right, didn't know what I had gotten her but guessed correctly.

Way cool

Guns, Burritos and family on your birthday. It just doesn't get much better than this.

Tell Mrs BT me and Mrs Glue said happy birthday

We need to get the girls together to shoot sometime.

Sounds like a plan.

I let Mrs. Bigtanker read that. Made her feel great. Thanks.

You should consider what I did with my wifes AR. I told her I'd teach and help her sight it in but shes doing the shooting. Which she did very well.

 

[Trigger Time]

I hope she really is excited because that would be cool. 98% of all women don't want guns for gifts. They may act excited but they will **** on your tooth brush as payback because you just deprived them of something shiney or pretty.
Like if they tell you a holiday isn't important, it's a TRAP! All,holidays and even ones you haven't even heard of are important to women and it's your job to read their minds and find out

That grin says it all.
My wife only the weekend before this one went up to me and asked to go to the range to shoot my .22s and her .38 Special.
It does a man's heart good to have his better half ask for some range time.

Good deal! Just don't be too surprised when you find your ammo stockpile mysteriously getting smaller.
