and would take my AR-7 over either one of my carries

DUDE! (as my stepdaughters would say)

Back in the day, I had an AR-7. Fell in love at first sight. Henry Arms now makes them, and I found one locally, at a Dick's of all places.

Trying to talk The Bride into buying one. Maybe as a wedding gift?

Mine is almost nearly shot out. I've run over 10K rounds through it, plinking, clearing varmits, etc... It does hold inside 2 inches at 100 yards, but I'll blame that on the barrel, and not my eyes or aging hands.

They are cool little pieces of equipment. I taught both daughters to shoot with it, and they both qualified expert with rifles during basic training.

Buy one for the Bride. All she can do is shoot you with it if she doesn't like it. ;)
