I’ve got two 700s in .280… but neither is a mountain rifle

Are you looking for a career in used car sales?

Nah. For the most part, I don’t like people. Which is why construction is basically my only option at this point.

This speaks to me. I have doubles or triples of most everything I rely on, firearm-wise. Good thing I don’t already have a 700 Mountain Rifle so I can skip on past this sweet deal.

I love my .280. And I have plenty of ammo for it. Almost makes a guy want to have another one.

I don’t have a .280. I don’t have ammo for it. Makes me want one.
Also, I have blown several months of discretionary spending on a sprinkler system for our yard. Then there was an in opportune stop at a local pawn shop where a MR Pintler was hanging on the shelf and she threw herself at me begging for a safe home. Of course I had to rescue her from that bad man behind the counter. I made him take another $50 off her price tag to show some remorse.
My wife and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary in a couple of months with a rare out of state vacation. I wonder how she would feel about cutting back a couple of days to free up some money for a mountain rifle…
Both @brockel and @JLS have terrible timing when they put desirable rifles on the market.
Although, I do have a well used stock 700 with a detachable mag in 30-06 that I would be willing to trade straight across for this…

All I heard was “my wife would love a 280 remington topped with a Zeiss for our anniversary”

Can I lead with , “Hon, Brockel said I needed to do this for us…?”
Whatever works

Her offhand comment when I showed her your rifle for sale about “ needing another gun like I need another hole in my head,”…
Do you think that was random or should I be worried? It feels like I might be missing something she’s trying to communicate. Anyone?

I think I figured it out. I don’t need this gun. She does.

Depends on how good your reaction time is, and what she has in her hands at the time.

The kids clearly need a new rifle, not you. She can’t say no to that.
Hey that plan worked out well for me one time! The second time was kinda iffy… I’m being much more considerate before a third time

That was last year… Not going to fly this year…
Besides, I am going to kill an elk with my bow this fall. Pretty sure the ‘06 will work just fine this year just like it has for the past 10 years.
