I'm almost broke. I whine about it all the time. So I make an even trade for a B30/22. But I took someone's advice and called Uramex to see if they had any RWS refurbs. Well I was contacted today and informed that it has an RWS model 52/.22 for $270.00 shipped. darn credit cards!! Now I have to tell the wife when she gets home that we aren't out of debt yet.
I'm doomed. I've got just a few hours to grow a pair and be ready for the assault!

(Yeah. I know. Man up)
Need some love, brothers

I've been thinking of changing my online name to "Deadmeat"

The rifle has no warranty, but I'm to check the operation as soon as it arrives. NP. Right?

LOL Well don't tell her

When most of my guns come in, i spend a day or two before hand making sure shes confused by the profusion of guns being cleaned, checked or paraded around in front of her. Then i'll make sure she's gone on the day the fedex guy comes.. Mix the new one in with it's brothers and the assimillation is complete. It's just another stripe on the zebra.

It all sounds good but in truthfulness i quit sneaking guns in years ago. Now i pretty much only buy new ones to replace ones i sell. She knows i've got a gun problem but am working hard on recovery..

Hey JR, I intend to tell her. She's the minister of finance so I have to be straight up. What the heck. She told me she was glad I got back into my "hobby". Now she wants me to buy a digital camera and begin taking photos again. I guess she wants the old me. That guy had a job though.

EZ, you ain't funny man!! LOL!!!!

Be sure to clean the barrel really well before shooting. After you've pulled it out. Tell us, which one are you?

There's a good lad. :-) Better to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous matrimony than to, well, something like that. Me, I had to pick up an anniversary gift today. She gets swell earrings. I will probably get an ear full. Such is life in my household. HRH.

darryl · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2010, 08:13:46 PM »

Well at least I can look forward to receiving the B30. But here's a real kick. I told the wife what I'd done and she was OK with me cancelling BECAUSE she wants me to have a warranty. She's OK (somehow) with me buying a nicer rifle (once again reminding me that I never should have sold my old collection). I think she's a keeper. She says we'll find a way to pay for whatever I get (within reason). That sounds like a new 48 or 52 to me!

What a woman. She sees me for my true worth!

Things have a way of working out, sometimes, I guess. At least if I get a new one it will be on sale, and come in a shinny new box. I feel better for having told her what I did. She doesn't deserve secrets. That's not outrageous at all. Is it?

You can buy a new RWS 48 at Natchez for $300.00

darryl · « **Reply #16 on:** August 20, 2010, 10:17:13 PM »

thanks Gene,
I'll check it out. Does the 48 cost less? I guess I'll find out.

I almost always buy used but I will tell you, sometimes it's better to get something that another fellow hasn't dropped, dinged, scratched, shot-out, etc. Even if it costs you more with a tune. Same with cars. Whatever you get, enjoy it. And, more importantly, do something nice for your wife. She's worth more than a closet-full of Whiscombes.

ezman604 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:30:04 PM »

Absolutely agree with Red. You got yourself a real keeper Darryl.
Tell her thanks for setting an example!!!! Will definately let my misses watch over my shoulder on this post.

(sshhhhh...Actually, I got a real keeper too....38 years ago, but don't tell her...) LOL

darryl · « **Reply #19 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:49:20 PM »

thanks for the kind words, guys. we've been together for 37 years,married for 35. I try to do something for her every day. She says it's the small things that matter to her. I try not to let her down, and she keeps me propped up. We both think we're very fortunate to have one another.

PS about that Whiscombe? Any good?
