So my wife wants my 308

[1911mag]

I say give it to her and have fun shooting together.
Tell her you will need to build a replacement is all.

There's always a catch. Mine is quite into guns so I cannot add to the 'herd' without it being noticed. I learned this when I came home with a 30-378 a few years ago. We went elk hunting last year and she took it. Yes, she shoots it too. It's now HERs. I was consigned to my 338 Win Mag.

I agree with the others, get two of the same rifles. 6CM would be my choice.

My wife recently got bit by the rifle bug. She loves shooting my 308. She wants to go with me every day. I don't mind I love the company.

However, she wants my Savage Arms 10/110 Precision

She said if I give it to her she will buy me a Savage Arms Arms 110 Elite chambered in 6mm Creedmoor.

Suggestions.

Dude you’re pretty much out of a 308. Happy Wife, Happy Life.
I’m honestly glad my wife doesn’t shoot with me. My dog goes with me, the wife stays home. Shooting and the the toilet are my sanctuary these days. I don’t want company at either one.

It's been over two weeks.

He’s lucky, his wife will buy him a new rifle and his fiancee buys him some Varget powder to try.

My wife is a very good archer, she is a 5 time national champion (in her age class). She is a school teacher and gets home earlier than I did before I retired. She would get out her bow and shoot for an hour or so before I would get home. I would eventually get home and have an Iced tea and drag my bow out and she would follow me out to the cotton bale with her bow (no mention of having already shot for an hour). About 10 minutes into our shooting session, she would start with "Oh could you fix my serving?". "My vanes are coming lose can you fix them?" and on and on and on. I have never figured out if she was desperate to get her bow fixed or just sabotaging my practice. When it was fix the bow time I was "Come with me and I will teach you to fix your serving." " No you just do it I am not that good at fixing things. "One day I had had it with her whining and I made her fletch her own arrows. She has made arrows that have won national matches. She always got me or Ron to cut them but anybody can live with that. Be very careful when taking you wife shooting, I may not be as cool as you think.

It’s already her 308
You just don’t know it yet….

 

[Mr Wick]

She's been killing it with the .308 but wanted to get into pistols so she can get her CCW. Don't tell her but I got her a Sig P365 for Valentine's Day.

 

[Liven The Dream]

This is Not sounding like the Mr.Wick I am thinking of??

Daisy Red Rider and a 1872 cap and ball ??

Best of luck.

My wife just ordered us new IWB holsters. Her own doing after research.

My wife pretty much owns my 223 now. She understands that she cant go with me to the club on match days but any other time I just cant tell her no. I just wish she would learn how to handload her own ammo.

 

[Mr Wick]

She comes with me about half the time I shoot. And I shoot everyday. It's a pleasure to have her there. We are going to join a competition league together.

I do all of the reloading, cleaning, tuning and testing on my girlfriend’s 6 dasher…..and then she takes it and wins 3 in a row, including a mid range prone state championship. She rarely practices and never writes anything in her notebook, and the extent of her questions regarding my reloading for her rifles is limited to her asking, “is this ammo exactly the same as last time? Or did you change anything? I love shooting with her but she has no interest in practicing. She just likes to compete.

When my wife was shooting a PSE many years ago, she shoot one till the edges of the cams broke off from constant shooting. The tech at PSE said in his notes Ive never seen a cam worn out and i service the gorilla teams bows. I never had a problem with her practicing as much as she wants, just had a problem ruining my practice.

I just wish mine would learn to hand load my ammo. Of course that could wind up not in my favor.
I bought my wife an iron and a new ironing board, and taught her how to cook. See I do care! It’s the little things that count, I don’t want to spoil her.

That's not a terrible way to grip a pistol but if she used a thumbs forward grip, it would really help her control recoil.

Thumbs Forward Grip – Will It Improve You As A Shooter?

Shooting a pistol is a lot more difficult than most people think… It’s easy to shoot accurately, as long as your sights are aligned and your trigger control is on point, but if you want to shoot fa…

How long have you been married? If long enough, the right thing to do should be obvious... lol

Absolutely +1. When I finally went to thumbs forward the gun would seemingly come down out of recoil right where it needed to be with little effort

We are working on her form. She was also taking her finger off the trigger between shots. But thank you.
