Outfit not very honest. I emailed them before I ordered an action and asked if it was the action and bolt . They emailed me back and said yes it was action and bolt. Got it and it was just the action. Emailed them and told them and was told I was miss informed no offer to return or make it right. I'll keep it but won't buy from them again!!!
NEVER EVER EVER forget the ALL INCLUSIVE "It Was On S A L E" hahahaha
I pick my battles.... One time I asked, do you really need another purse. She said not really, so she didn't buy it. A few weeks later I ordered some reloading stuff, and when it mysteriously appeared via UPS and she beat me home and carried the box inside, she asked what I ordered. I showed her. She asked, do you really need more shooting stuff?
Since then, when she asks can I order these shoes, clothes, etc? I say sure. Every once and awhile I tell her to wait until payday for budget reasons. I turned the table. So now when something shows up for hunting or shooting, I respond with when was the last time I said no to shoes, etc. Or I say, hey I am going to order ________, but will wait until payday, and she doesn't question it.
We now have an unspoken "understanding"

I bought a boat in 1989 (Penn Yan Tournament 212) and said it was the last boat I will buy for salmon trolling. It was a little bit out of our budget but I told it would be safest for our 6 year old son at the time. She said "uh uh". I still have it and once in a while I point to it.....I have 2 trucks since 1997. So when I order some shooting stuff, it is recognized I don't "turn over" my gear so it is an investment for my hobby. When our 40th came up, I made dam sure it will be remembered and had a custom diamond emerald ring made for the occasion. Holy cow! Could have bought 3 really good rifles from any custom shop for it BUT she never questions if I need it or is it in budget. She knows I would not buy it if I really did not need it. I don't abuse the trust and it has worked for us.

My mail lady asked me today if I would put a bigger mail box up. She is tired of carrying packages too big for the current box to the front door. Wife gets more than me but I will satisfy both of the ladies and do it. Happy girls happy home
Every UPS/FedX package that arrives I say "Hey Jill you got a package". Even have her name on most Shooting Supply accounts so when the package arrives it has Jill's name on it. I always say "Sweetheart look what we bought you". Sooo Jill gets all the new rifles, pistols and components. Never have any problems plus I get to shoot everything!
Every now and then Jill gets packages from New York Clothes, along with hair products and makeup, which makes her even happier.
Happy Wife- Happy Life. It's great to have a life partner, wife & best friend that you can shoot, hunt, build rifles with!

I'm happily divorced, so I just look in the mirror and say "don't you think that is a great idea?"....and I always do.

Man you got that right! Mine made a discovery I had hoped she wouldn't and now we are getting an outdoor covered area and she bought a dang motorcycle! Pretty much dashed my scheme before it ever came to fruition! I'll be lucky to swing some new scope covers now.
