My Wife's Birthday/Christmas Present

[Dan Hunter]

This is what my wife requested for her birthday and Christmas. As is the tradition, she'll receive it behind her desk in the fashion of A Christmas Story - just as my daughter did with her XS7 in .308 - with people less than sober ALREADY offering up the lines from the movie.



Thanks to whoever provided the picture on the internet. Her rifle will wear a 4-12 AO Leupold until I can put a proper tactical scope on it.

Tomorrow she starts the process of getting the tax stamp for a suppressor.

Should any of you gentlemen need coaching on such matters, feel free to PM me.

Very nice. The Luepold is nothing to sneeze at.

Oh, I don't disagree but it's a glossy unit that came off a Browning 1885 7mm Mag that I sold. It's also big and Lori wants a matte finish compact unit. I'm good with that. I own a lot of Leupolds...probably 5 Scout Scopes alone. And actually, the rifle it'll go on has a somewhat shorter barrel.

Very nice rig, I have bought a rifle and some handguns for presents for my wife. I cannot get her to use a scope, but she did allow me to put a Holosight on for her once her eyes began to give her problems.

It's nice to have a wife that likes sensible presents, isn't it?

Nice rig. My wife shoots and she said I rather have a new gun than a new hand bag.

Great gift! I know she will love it!

My wife's birthday is on Dec 3. Many times, she has said a gift can count for BOTH her birthday and Christmas. However, DO NOT BELIEVE HER! Women want something for both occasions. Just sayin.

She was born 22 Dec and generally we work to keep the two events from blending together as celebrations but it does allow for more substantial purchases.

Or are you saying rifle for B-day and suppressor and scope for Christmas?

My wife's b-day is Feb 8 our anniversary is Feb 12 and Valentines day is the 14th. And after 36 years I still must give a gift for each day.
