My wife and I went to a gun show today and my wife won the door prize, a Ruger M77 rifle in 300 Win Mag. I have been entering raffles for rifles for years without winning a thing, but she wins on her first trip.

I've got the exact same rifle with a leopold Var-x II scope. It will kick the hell out of her shoulder but is a fine elk gun. Be a gentleman and get her a but pad for Valentine's day, that is, of course, if you plan on letting her keep it...[}:D]

M15A2, she got ambushed into entering this one. When we got to the table to pay, I told her it was her turn. She put her name on both tickets and threw them in the drum. Why HER name on BOTH tickets, SHE paid. But it was really my ticket that won.[:D]

She'll probably use the 30-06 and I'll use the magnum.

Lucky Bastage.
I won two guns last year, A SP 1911A1 loaded and a S&W 22a which I finally got around to picking up this week.
Nothing like a free gun.[:)]

That's a nice rifle, just make sure you put optics on it that will do the rifle and caliber justice.

Tell her that its too big for her and that you will just get her a 10/22 for it......I don't know if might work...LOL
