New here but not to firearms. I recently made a trade and ran across your site while looking for upgrade information. I will start with a little tale of my return home with my new Tikka.
Walking into the house yesterday;
Wife: What is that?
Me: I traded my hunting rifle for another hunting rifle.
Wife: Why didn’t you talk to me before doing that? You don’t even know that guy.
Me: I didn’t talk to you when I bought the first rifle, why would I check with you about a trade? Also pretty sure you don’t know most of the people you buy things from.
Wife: What if he tried to rob you?
Me: I would have come home with 2 rifles…. Do you even know me?
Me: “Walks away victorious”
Also, sleeping on the couch but worth it.
