Default Best Wife Ever!

I've got to have the best wife ever, at least for a true rifle loony. I awoke Christmas morning with a big-O grin to see some very cool stuff under the tree besides the usual boring stuff like socks or a scarf from Aunt Edna.

This is the cause of my Christmas grin:



A Cooper M38 Phoenix in 221 Fireball, 100 new Lapua cases, 100 new Nosler cases, 1,000 40gr Varmageddon Tipped boolits, Jard 10 oz trigger, 5 lbs of AA2200, and Leupold 30mm rings & bases. Now THIS is a wife who fully understands the passion!

This rifle will be the companion to my other Coopers of course, but also a safe and field-mate to my CZ American in 221FB. Can't resist posting the hard-to-find rat caliber barrel stamping:



Once I get her Leupold VX3 6.5-20X 40mm M1 LR w/VHR properly mounted and bore-sighted (and the mount bases come via UPS), I'll post a pic of the finished product for some fresh Cooper Porn. I'm smiling for sure, but if Skippy knew what was in store for him and his pals in a few months, smiling would NOT be on his agenda! :lol:

Nice one Rick.
All I got off my wifey was a bill for £1000, to pay for the damage I did to her car.

Nice! It is always good to have a spouse that appreciates (and enables) your habit!
