Christmas Gift

Post by wvhills » Sun Dec 25, 2022 8:57 pm

Wife gave me a small box this morning, just had a picture in it of a single shot rifle, a Winchester High Wall, asked if i would like one, i said "yep"
she went downstairs and came back up with a lot bigger box.... 38-55 Limited Edition, i had been looking at 38-55's and she noticed...

this is the 2nd time she has bought me a rifle, Love this Gal..

Your wife’s process of the small box with a photo leading to a size of box we all would identify as a rifle was priceless. Nice job of not letting the cat out of the bag so to speak. :D
