Have more than that in long guns, and am running out of space, but
ifn I was getting another for free I'd find a place, and I already own 5 30-30's. :lol:
Glad my wife doesn't complain about my addiction. ;)

I know I'm blessed. Miss Tina doesn't complain about what I buy, and I don't complain about what she wants. In return, we are both reasonable in our spending. It helps that our hobbies are productive. She mostly buys for her sewing / quilting or soap making. I mostly buy for the wood shop or the guns / reloading, but haven't been buying much for that lately. My bucket list is short, but distinguished. LOL.

I ran into the problem with the safe capacity, bought a long gun safe, not expensive, but concealable.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

I have a completely full safe, and try to stick to a one in, one out format, but I’d make room for an orphan if one came along;)

I wouldn't sweat it too much...the wife is not unhappy, and if you really want a 94 in .30-30, it is about the most common, most affordable, and easiest to find. A little tough to swallow that it was a pre-'64, and would have been free, but there's lots out there, and you ended up with something pretty cool.
