my fiance has always wanted a garand. he even went through the CMP match thing. and he was going to make it his next gun.
so he walks in the door tonight, late, and says, "i don't think the garand is going to be our next gun." surprised, i asked him why.
"well," says he. "first off, there are other rifles i'd rather have. second, those other rifles are more in line with the type of competition/match shooting i'd like to get into. and third, the next one is in the back seat of my car."
and the best part of it is that he tries to tell me it's my gun...as if that will take the heat off of him. (not that there's much heat to begin with...i've never been upset at bringnig home new guns). you guys ever do that to you wives/GFs? i thought it was hilarious. by the way, it's an M96 swedish mauser, dated 1899.
