My wife who had never expressed any interest in shooting recently said she wanted a pink rifle. I bought her this 10/22 and we went to the range today. She did very well on paper and shooting bits of clays on the berm. I want to get her a Simmons 22MAG scope and a pink case. ![[Linked Image]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Woodsman1956/100_1696.jpg)

Good for her, and you. I spent some time plinking tonight with my Nylon 66, fun time.

That's a great picture. She looks like a really nice lady.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

There is a guy on ebay selling a variety of different color laminated Ruger 10/22 stocks. I have bought the purple stock for my daughter's 10/22. I have a pink laminated stock on a Savage 93R17 with a Green Mountain 17HMR barrel. A great shooter and always a draw at the range. I've offered to shoot off with guys who were critical of the color, my rifle against their rifle, but so far no takers.
I'd suggest spending a little more $$ and get the Simmons Whitetail Classic 3.5-10x40 from Natchez Shooters Supply for around $60 instead of the 22Mag. A lot more scope for not a lot more $$.

I've seen they have changed the .22 mag as it doesn't come with the target turrets any more. Shame.

Don't lie... It's your rifle and she is holding it for you.  Pretty lady.

plinking with semi's is the best. i bought my boys a s&w m&p 15-22 last christmas and we just put a leupold 2.75x scout scope on it. that little bugger is fun. we have a backyard range and i have some old refrigerators waiting to go to the scrap yard and we peppered them things. 25 rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger and all 25 in a fist sized group at 50 yards. fun stuff.
get a banana clip for that thing and let 'er rip.

Good for her & you Swampy. I'm thinking I'd be looking at a Rimfire Prostaff for it.

Good for you and the wife for being a couple for 28 years and still sharing activities like shooting together.
