I know this isn't about archery, but my wifes gonna kill me come tomorrow morning. I was over in the auction site and found a nice left handed 870 so I bid it up to $120 and won, then got outbid an hour later. I didn't want to go over my previous bid so I panned out and found a new weatherby orion with 4 hours left and got into it for $650 (good buy). I'll be you know what if the person who outbid me on the other gun didn't retract their bid and now here I sit with both. She just doesn't understand and I know she'll be fired up over this, mainly cause I told her she spends to much on qvc. [B)]
Sure hope I get outbid on one of them at least. [V]

    Could you post picutres on the bruises she will inflict on you[B)]. It will serve as a reminder to the rest of us not to do that.[;)]

    Why do they make it taste so good and put it in them little bitty cans- Dad

    I was nervous as a cat logging in today, but sweet relief is mine. I got outbid on both guns, the 870 only by $5, wish I'd got that one. The weatherby went up to over a grand. [:0]

    Sure is nice to be safe again. [:D][:D]

    Hey what's up! Since were talking about guns on this post I'll tell you bout mine. Just ordered a New England .223 from wally world MONDAY and picked it up ALREADY [8D] yesterday! Love the fact that it wasn't even a week and love the gun! Bang and I shot it a little yesterday before we went to ROCK'S and was very happy with it.[^] Havent sighted the scope in yet, but shooting close at a UM A BEER CAN (it's ok it was empty[:D]) it was very close. So it shouldn't take a whole lot of adjusting. I feel sorry for the next YOTE I see!![:D][:D]

    OK, first things first Ben's shut off. 2nd Susp I don't think the wife would approve that right now.[xx(] This will be the second gun I have gotten in the last three monts and still am waiting on a 9mm I have on order.[:p][:p] I sure will keep it in mind for the future.

    Yes it is Susp. It's a SB2-.223 Handi-Rifle. I think I am going out here shortly and sight in the scope![:p] Then I might check into a new coyote call too![^]

    Got your e-mail. Didn't know if you had heard of the barrel program from H&R or not. It's a pretty good deal.

    They sent a brochure(sp?) with all the different barrels for them. I'm sure going to keep it in mind![:)]

    Wow! lookin' at that web site it looks like you can have whatever caliber rifle you want. How cool, I may have to make a purchase and keep it hidden so she don't use it on me.[;)]

    Susp, this is just an idea--I'm not sure if it would work. But, have you tried to put a parental lock on QVC. That would be funny.

    [:D][:D], No way, that place sends her invitations to special meetings, dinners, public get to gethers, it's like she is part of the family or something. [:0] I doubt they would let me lock out her account. [:D] I told her to move to Pittsburgh through the week and work for them. She didn't like the idea. [:(!]

    A buddy of mine got three or four different barrels for his, he keeps a cheap scope on each barrel so it's always sighted in. Seems to work pretty good. He's got one in the 06 or else the 308, WOW what a kick. [:p] I wouldn't recommend anything to big a caliber for that gun frame. He has a rifled 20 gauge slug barrel that really throws em out there.
