It’s probably better that way. Otherwise she’d probably forever guilt you for the reminder of your life and resent any trophy from the hunt that you’d want to hang on the wall.I got out of it but I constantly guilt her to this day for not letting me go
How dare that gun dealer not give you $1400 store credit on exchange for a $800 rifleWent to a benefit dinner and had too many beers and bought a Tikka T3x lite in 300 win mag. I just got done setting up a Browning X bolt pro long range in 7 mag which I really like (although it is a little heavier than I would like). I called the FFL and asked if I could exchange the $1,400 credit for something else, nope. Most of my hunts are deep (9+ miles in) backpack hunts in the Sierra Nevadas for deer and bear. Looking at the ballistics of the two rounds it seems like I now have two rifles that are very similar. Are there scenarios where I could justify keeping and setting up both of these rifles? I really would prefer to built an ultralight, compact backpacking gun for my California backcountry hunts….something in a shorter, say 20” barrel in one of the 6.5s. I did just draw a late rifle elk tag in AZ for this year hence the 7 mag. If I only keep one of them which should I send packing?
Some people also get drunk and do stupid shit that cause them to lose a wife and kidsDon’t feel bad. Some guys get drunk and end up with wife and kids!
Can’t help with your question, though.
I have a friend that did that. Crazy shit. He was married to a doctor, her folks had given them a house, he was set for life……then he went out to get a few beers one evening.Some people also get drunk and do stupid shit that cause them to lose a wife and kids
Beer goggles and a little attention can be a deadly combination.I have a friend that did that. Crazy shit. He was married to a doctor, her folks had given them a house, he was set for life……then he went out to get a few beers one evening.
I thought the same. The store has that same rifle on the shelf for $1,539. Sportsmans is $1,299. Didn’t pay tax and it’s a write off. Guess it wasn’t a bad deal. Keep in mind I’m in California.How dare that gun dealer not give you $1400 store credit on exchange for a $800 rifle
Must be something extra to the rifle then. Eurooptic has a 300wm Tikka 3x lite for $770I thought the same. The store has that same rifle on the shelf for $1,539. Sportsmans is $1,299. Didn’t pay tax and it’s a write off. Guess it wasn’t a bad deal. Keep in mind I’m in California.
It was the Roughtec Ember, still not worth the extra coin if that’s the only difference? Who knows. I have a 10 day waiting period to get my hands on it. I was seeing two of them at the time now that would have been a deal.Must be something extra to the rifle then. Eurooptic has a 300wm Tikka 3x lite for $770

Rule is that anything paid over true value is a write off.Off topic, but you sure it's a write off?
My understanding with those Auctions has always been since you are getting something/merchandise in return that it's not a "donation" and can't be written off.
Just curious.
