Not being able to see or touch it until Christmas......... The wife got me one and demanded it be a christmas gift...... I've never ran into this type of torture before... She has good intentions, but I don't think se knows how bad it is going to be for me. I see the posts of other guns on the forum and it makes me want to fondle my new piece. I'm allready having withdrawles and it hasn't even been in the house yet. She took it to the folks house and hid it. She knows me too well. Agggggg.   Well thanks for letting me vent, I'ts better than gnawing at my nails. Any advice would be helpfull.

I would reccomend looking at pictures left and right.  I am having to wait some time for a new gun myself.

I would also reccomend drinking.

I know what the anxiety feels like. I would go pick-up a few more "toys" on your shopping list and leave them a secret.

Dude, that sucks. You have to wait till December to get your rifle?

You should explain to your wife, by using the M96 as an illustration, that if you don't get to play with your rifle before then it'll be discontinued and no longer a viable weapons platform.

I think if she's reasonable, it'll work.

Payback is a morter forker.  What does she like?  Is there something you could get her, show to her, and then say Christmas and then take it away to provide equal tourture?
