Bill,
Glad you have an airgunner Wife! That really makes the Hobby lotsa fun!
Mine "stole" my Blue Streak years ago, wore the finish off, and only a Sholder operation got the rifle back to me...
Once a Woman develops a relationship with one airgun, they seem to want no other one! With my Wife this also extended to her Rimfire, but an exploding case head ruined that gun. She's never been happy with any of my Rimfires either, and sadly I never replaced her little Marlin.
I have tried for years to convert her into a Springer Shooter, but she won't (they're too heavy"). Dosen't like CO2 either. She keeps threatning to start airgunning again if she can just decide on a rifle?
It's almost OK with me, however she always was the better shot! Glad I don't embarrass easy, LOL!
