Thing is Jim getting it into the fold TheRollingBlock could use the excuse that "The Loopy scope needs to be on this rifle otherwise there is just $000's of scope just sitting idle and you want to make use of it or you could just say the deer told you so!"
I just say to my wife "I want/would like that rifle and then I am usually dodging a frying pan or pot as I scarper" it is an impasse at the moment I can have a rifle but I have to sell one I already have that ain't going to happen so stuck......?
