About 12 years ago I had a Winchester M-70 action laying around and a wife without a low kicking hunting rifle (she broke her back and has three rods in it).
So I built her a 243. She shot a couple deer with it over the years but hasn't shot it in about three or four years.
I'm suppose to go to Portland for about a week and she tell me she just might shoot a deer if one crosses through the back pasture while I'm gone.
I said right, you probably couldn't find the ammo, let alone still shoot the rifle. (I don't know when the last time she shot anything but a pistols).
She promply digs out a box of shells from her desk, loads the rifle and takes aim at a 200 yard 6 inch gong. Three shots, rapid fire, ding ding ding, and puts the rifle up like its no big deal. (except for the smirk on her face).
Dern smart a$$ wives.
