Some day soon I'll be building my wife a rifle, but it needs girly colors on it. How many of you have one to show.
Where is the "wife's rifle" thread?
- Thread starter flyboy
- Start date
Talk her out of the girly colors. I did lol. I am going to have a 6.5 CM built for her, this way I can shoot it also. Because there is no way am I going to take a pink or purple rifle to the range and shoot it. Lol. If you were going to have a sexy rifle with a badger M2013 in a sentinel stock rifle built wouldn't you want to shoot it also?

Smile on wifes face when I gave it to her...priceless.
I've been thinking about the same thing, I may be putting in an order for a pretty McSwirly before long too.
Just bought the wife a Weatherby Vanguard Sub MOA in .308. It has a 3 contour barrel so its heavy but not crazy heavy making it easier to handle for her. Ross Shuler Brake should get threaded over the next week and she is off. She gets a 10X scope to start and gets to help me load massive amounts of ,308 for the two of us.

That is awesome. Your wife is a bad-ass. So is her gun.
I'm about to try to get mine on a .223 to start with.
You do not need to have full girly colors do you? Accents might work. Cerakote Coatings: H-237 Tungsten with H-141 Prison Pink
Same thing could be done to a rifle.

Started her with the AR, and moved her to the mk12. Once she started hitting 10 out of 10 at 600, is about the time the winmag was done. It does weigh 20lbs so recoil is tame. Hey, she wanted a .50, but i couldnt swing it. Figured she'd have to suffice with a solid 1500 yard rifle instead.
My wife has the same colors on her 10/22. Hers is a normal stock though. I think it looks pretty cool. At least it's purple and not hot pink.
I had my wife's deer rifle painted recently - CZ550 American in 30-06. Graphite black Cerakote on the metal with the stock sniper gray with bright purple webbing. She likes it. It isn't so girly that I am embarrassed to shoot it myself. 
Here she is without the scope mounted.

Very nice whitebread. That's kinda along the lines of what I'm wanting. Still looks cool but she can identify it as hers. Nine, that's the caliber I'm leaning toward. Very similar ballistics to my 708 with less kick and just being a different round to play with.
I should have my fiances rifle finished any day now. I am pretty excited about this build, it is her wedding present. I figured a rifle that she could hunt with and shoot out to 1000 yds with would fit the bill. The stock is going to be black, purple, grey, and white woodland camo painted by Todd 30calsniper.

Dude,
Wife is running a 300WM with NO BRAKE!!! Yeah, I second HAROLDWILSON's "Bad-Ass" statement.
- Took me a good six months to get my wife from my 22LR to my (now her) custom .223.
- Took just over six months for Jamie to build it.
- Took just five shots for her to confiscate it.
She just doesn't know I'm working on funds for another Wolfprecision Tack Driver!!!
flyboy - Not yet on the stock pictures. This is what I have pictures of right now. Barreled action is finished, just waiting on stock paint.
Wiebad and tactical embroidery did my rear bags. I had to get one for myself also.
JEC brake turned down

Redhead! Awesome rifle and wife. I'd give you a thanks but i can't for some reason, so i hope a semi inappropriate post will so instead.

I'm pretty sure the motto of "Don't Mess With Texas" was written by her. The rifle is well balanced. It does weigh over 20lbs empty. It kind of just gently pushes your shoulder, and it has a really nice soft rear pad. We do have a brake and SAS can for it. She loves it. She says she doesn't want a girly looking gun, doesnt blend in with the environment. And yes she is bad ass. She is doing Brazilian Jui-jitsu now as well, and winning sparring matches against the guys regularly. And once upon a time she survived working with our state department in Syria, where at one point she had to literally E&E to a refugee camp where she awaited SF to pick her up two weeks later. Her balls are bigger than most dudes I've known in the .mil. Lol

Tell her that the rifle you want to get her is going to be specifically built for her only comes in OD & GAP Camo. Then buy a Crusader.
Daughters Count? She is running her 6 Creed originally Built by Accurate Ordnance and recently re-barreled By Moon!
She likes Tan

Love the flag.

Love it!
Hey, that's my purple SPR! I wasn't sure I'd like the purple, so we just spray painted the barreled action. I love it so much I'm considering stripping it, ceracoating it blue, then spray painting it purple again, so when the back of the action chips where brass hits it, it's blue instead of silver! Seems silly to try to blend in with twigs and grass when I'm only shooting competitions. I tend towards anti-tactical (obviously).
A few more photos, of course!
I took 11th out of 23ish shooters at a match last weekend, and we have another in a few days!

Not as often as I should, unfortunately, but we're taking advantage of the good weather while it lasts!
I've managed to hold off on the girly colors, because we may be getting new rifles in the future, but eventually it's going to happen... My wife's rifle is the one in front, AI AE MKII with 24" .308 barrel with Benchmark Tactical Brake, Viperskins and a March 3-24x42mm. She's shooting 155 SMKs at 2860 and hammering steel with it! Mine is an AE MKIII with a 21" Benchmark .243 barrel and Brake, Viperskins and the new March 3-24x52mm.
How much would you charge to make me a profile? Haha. Really though you have it going on, bad ass stick, bad ass girl, and you live in a bad ass state. Bravo. Haha
Oh man, trying to get my wife to go shoot after our daughter was born (2.5 yrs ago) has been impossible. She feels like she is neglecting something she should be doing as a mother.
Would love to get her a nice .223 to start out with, then move along to whatever she wanted. Maybe when the kiddo starts school?
Great thread, lets see some more ladies rifles.

I'm currently waiting on my wife's gun to get back to me after a rebarrel. 6mm Creedmoor on a stiller tac30 action, carbon XLR chassis and a steiner 5-25x56 with msr reticle. The adjustability and weight of the XLR is perfect for her. Here it is befor It was sent back for another barrel. The barreled action will be a different color since this was originally in a manners t5a.

Not my wife...yet but here is a 10/22 we are putting together for her to start shooting rifles.
It's crazy, every upgrade she wanted was one that I wanted. A few more weeks for the barrel and she will be good to go!

Here is my wife's Short Action Customs 6.5mm Creedmoor. I kept telling here I was getting her a rifle built and she kept saying you are having it built for you in which I replied, I am left handed, why would I have a right handed one built for me? She finally believed me. The first time she shot it with the Thunderbeast on it she said how low recoil it was and she like it. She even like the colors too.
Here is the finished product. Went with a different color on the barreled action. Now it looks great! I'm waiting to see how much she actually shoots this one befor I have her a Titanium action and carbon fiber barrel setup made up. Probably also go with a manners elite 100% carbon fiber stock
