That I need a double rifle.
 
Still in the ambulance
 
Bless you Phil!
In the South we would have said something like " man your in a whole lotta trouble"
 
Every hunter that can at least spell Africa needs one double, even if it a 30-06 to hunt deer. No reason as to why, it should just be that way!
 
That I need a double rifle.
Don't have a wife to contend with, but if my S.A. .404 J falls through the cracks and doesn't happen, then a double rifle will most likely be my next target!
 
Explain to her about the Mastodons and Global Warming!!!!
It's for HER protection, you are SO Selfless taking care of the Missus like that...
 
BTW, I just started looking at a 404 Jeffrey........
 
Phil,

Pretty good typing with broken trigger fingers.... :A Stretcher:

I need another reason - used that one to get the .458 Lott...
 
Hope it ends well
 
and....... what was her reply?

No real reply yet. She just looked at me and busted up laughing this morning. I think she broke out in chuckles a few times during the night.
 
She may be laughing about how much this is going to "cost" you.... not in the way of the Double, but like in it for her (i.e. trip to Hawaii, etc.) :unsure:
 
WOW, What a GREAT reply, wish I was smart enough to think of that on my own!
Buy your Double and have it sent to Hawaii or Vegas, then take her there ona vacation and pick your rifle up!!

Win - Win!!

Explain to her that life is all about choices. Let her know she can choose to let you shoot a double far away at a range, or that you can play a double at home, at night.

Let us know how the conversation goes.

 
I think Phil might get the last laugh!!!!
