[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Got home from work the other day and this is what I found in my bed... (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 11/21/2014 10:45:07 PM EDT

Last week the wife and I were looking at puppies and the gun shop was right across the street from the puppy shop. So, across the street we go...
I found this Marlin in there and told my wife that it was just like the one I had before but had traded. I told her how much I liked the gun and wished that I had never traded it. Not a nick or scratch anywhere on it, looked like a safe queen. The man at the gun shop told me $425.00 OTD. So after much himming and hawing, we go on our way empty handed.
Two days later I came home from work and there it was!
I know the rules, pic of the wife... on a water ride at Disney.

Very nice OP your a lucky guy. I used to have a 30-30 that I would load up some "cowboy" rounds with IMR Trailboss. Those were fun as hell and basically sounded suppressed no ear pro needed and zero kick.

Keep that woman and treasure her.

I would highly recommend the scout mount for it and a nice compact pistol scope.

Mine was a hand me down, killed lots of deer with that sucker, drops them where they stand.

This.

Worship the Goddess, and let it be known.

Turnaround is absolutely called for, and necessary.
Surprise her with a similar gesture.

Something that will inspire a Barret next time.

Awesome OP! If it weren't for the three young kids I have I'm sure my wife would do the same.

Remember now: you have to care for it, feed it every day, clean up after it and take it for walks.
And don't forget the puppy, too.
