Wifey Wanted A Shooter
(posted to the correct forum)
So, she wants to shoot more often with me at the range. I ran across a good deal on a Ruger at the Saturday silhouette match. had optics, 2 mags, and a hard case for $350 Jumped on it. Took two clicks to sight it in at 50 yds from a rest. Maybe I should keep it and buy her something else.

That's exactly how this is working out!
She's seen the gun and the target. My only hope is a 5.5" bull barrel will be better balanced for her. But I ain't holdin' my breath!

Don't feel too bad... my daughter has "dibs" on every gun I own. She's shot them all... want's them all, especially the 1911s. I tried to sell a Gold Cup a few years ago... she damn near neutered me.
What's a dad to do? C

Great gun, had a Mark 1 back in the mid 70's that I learned to instinct/point shoot with. Still kicking myself in the butt for selling that gun.

I like it so much, I'm looking for another one.
My Smith M41 doesn't shoot "$500" better.

Doc, that is a fine Mark II no less. Perhaps if you're really nice your wife will let you put a couple of magazines thru it

My wife made me get her the Browning Buck Mark Camper with the pinkish grips that have the Rose on them, so that I wouldn't be tempted to steal it.
