What would you do...... (Christmas gifts for a cowboy shooter) UPDATE!

[Foothills Drifter]

Howdy......
My wife asked me (as she does every year) "what do you want for Christmas?' As usual I said 'well...I don't know,I don't realy need        nothin..... maybe a gift certificate from somewhere' She got kinda mad and said you say the same thing every year! What do you realy want! I thaught for a minute and told her how about a rolling block rifle in 45-110. She asked 'how much?' I said maybe around $2000.00  She seemed ta think that might be a bit much for our budget    I told her if I got that,I wouldn't ask for SEX! for a year     She then asked for the name of the gun store I deal with           
WHAT WOULD YOU DO.................

UPDATE......
Well,the rifle is history (it was too much money) Beverly has her eye on a pair of diamond ear rings (only $800.00) Now I am thinkin 'bout2 pair of Eagle American Elk Grips for my Vaquero's. At $145.00 a pair it might work out better (in more ways then one...  )

Good shootin......

Take the 45-110, the three of you should be very happy.
The 45-110 aint goin ta hold it over you," 'errr thought you were goin ta paint the lounge room this weekend etc etc," but don't tell her WE told ya. They like a little competition,aint that right boys.
See Ya ..........Texas Tall.

Well, since you told her that if you got the rifle you woudn't ask for sex she probably isn't going to be very willing for a while anyway.  Take the rifle.

My wife would rather give up the sex-but that's not necessarilly a bad thing

[Coop Trawlaine]

Take The Rifle.....is there really a choice?   LOL

[dangerranger]

Keep the missus happy, buy her those diamond earring and a necklace, and she will feel bad and get you the rifle to make up for it, plus the other stuff should improve also....

Here's what we do at our house.  I keep a running list on the computer of items I want/need.   As I get something, it is deleted from the list, or as I think of something it is added.  I often put the $ and location of the item, including ISBN number for tomes I am in search of.   My wife loves it.  It is nearly 4 pages long and runs in $ from $5 to $2500.   For her, I just watch her as she looks at catalogs.  She eyed a Jewelry catalog a few weeks ago and I ran out on my lunch order and purchased the item she stared at for more than a little while.  It isn't a perfect system, but it works.  By the way, take the Rifle.
