The answer to your problem is simple. !!!Jewelry!!! If you want to buy yourself plastic and steel you must first buy the wife gold and diamonds. TRUST ME IT WORKS!!!!!!

not for me, my wife don't like jewelry...when we started talking marriage, she said if i spent more than a grand on her engagement ring, she would say no...and when we did the window shopping, every ring she "mentioned" was in the $500-$700 range. she got mad that i spent $$$ on a walmart bracelet for her from the 2 kids for christmas. It was only $38.
she won't spend more than $20 for a pair of jeans, she has taken to buying gently used clothes in large lots off of ebay.

Since both the Mossy and the Ruger don't become "tactical" until somebody takes a conventional plinker gun and sticks all the black stuff on it, the compromises tend to ruin the whole experience. I liked the Mossberg price until I held one and knew that it was as far removed from a real Stoner-style rifle as Ellen DeGeneres is from Charlize Theron (my information base for the rifle part of this comparison derived from the memory of the M16A1 that I was first issued in 1968 and the subsequent versions I was issued until mid-1971). It didn't feel right in my hands so I asked about the other .22 AR-type in the rack and got acquainted with the 15-22. No, it doesn't work like the .223 AR's but it does feel, handle and throw lead downrange like one of them. As for wives; my first bailed on me just before I left for Vietnam and I didn't get back into shooting until the second one passed away so I really don't have a lot of advice to give on the subject. I do know that the Great Ones will let you follow your enthusiasms as long as you do nothing to jeopardize your family or the vows you took with her. If you do find a Great One, remember there is no damn gun in the world worth losing her over, deal with it!

that is why i ended up with the mossberg. and with all of the problems, she has said that she should have let me buy the smith. of course, i just go the mossy back on dec. 08. shot it on the 9th to be sure it worked well enough and had planned on selling it to buy a smith. i think selling it would be easy enough, but getting the 15-22 may be hard now. i have not had a chance to look locally.

Furthermore, if you have had 20 bad rifles of the same brand, why did you keep buying them>?
I have had a total of twenty Ruger rifles of various models over several years. I never expected such poor results, collectively. I actually had #21 on lay-a-way (stainless Mini 14 Ranch rifle) and let a friend take it. He likes it.
Just think how happy he would be if he had bought a good shooting rifle.
