The wifey's new toy
Got this for my wife yesterday. She had been drooling over it at academy for a while. I can't imagine why it has been on the shelf for so long . I admit I felt weird when I was buying it . All in all though it is a very nice rifle. Except for the color . Good work ruger

That 10/22 was shocking when I first glanced at it

Re: The wifey's new toy
No, no I get it.. You don't like putting on the orange vests when walking through the woods.. With this rifle you don't have to, even the deer will see you come a half mile away.
Re: The wifey's new toy
My "other" wife is looking to buy that gun right now too. She already has their neon green version but wants the hot pink one now too. I don't get it but f it makes them happy, who are we to complain?

Re: The wifey's new toy
Wow...it's...ummm...it's...pink.
My wife wants me to paint her (my) 10/22 purple. It's a vintage 1968 model carbine (my birth year) with a gorgeous walnut stock. Paint it? HELLZNO!!

Re: The wifey's new toy
Yeah I would have to put my foot down to that too. Judt buy a cheap polymer takeoff from someone who modded their rifle and paint that one.
