The 6.5x55 Swedish is a great round, shoots mild but with a terrific punch. It’s kind of expensive to feed, but I am sure she will love shooting it. If only I could get my wife interested in shooting, however, I should feel fortunate that she likes Pyro and Rocketry. -pf <strong>I have a habit of collecting rifles that are pricey to feed. My SMLE got me started reloading and then my T-99 Arisaka cemented the trend of getting rifles that use out of date and/or out of production ammo. I just got my self a M95 Steyr and naturally, I'll have to roll my own if I want to try it out. Good thing for me that the reloading bench is in the cool basement. ;-) -TP</strong> Excellent rifle, I have one as well. The 6.5×55 Swedish is a great round, shoots mild but with a terrific punch.

I would have never thought. I own a little colt 380. The mercenaries who haunt the shooting range call me Mozambique. <strong>Heh! The funny thing is the number of women who I've told this to who react with, "WOW! I wish my husband got me a rifle! That awesome!" Totally caught me off guard. We haven't gone shooting yet but hopefully will be able to slip off next weekend. :-) -TP</strong> Well, Mr. Prawn, you are just so romantic! I would have never thought.

The brother of an ex-girl-friend of mine once bought her a pair of bolt cutters to teach her a lesson about being so hard to buy presents for. <strong>I'd be nervous about what she'd go after with the bolt cutters! Honestly though, she isn't really ever fishing for a gift. It's just that she's tricky to buy for. She doesn't need much and hates clutter. Makes it tricky. -TP</strong> Wow that is a really full on and very different kind of present.
