A shameless copy of Ingwe's rifle, sort of. New NC M70, Leupy 2.5x8x36 in 7x57 of course. I dislike schnabel ends so I sanded the end down and painted it to make it more "safari". I'm going to shoot pretent elephants at the range.

If you wear a leopard thong, feel free to post of pic of it...somewhere else I nearly bought a M70 SG in 7x57 a few months ago, but it had a big honking Cabelas logo on the floor plate, and that was no bueno.

Paradiddle - His Majesty The Grand PooBah...Leader of the Turd Like Peoples will, no doubt, be pleased with your efforts. Do you have a leopard print thong on order for an audience? Homesteader

That looks really good! I think all of us need an Ingwe Tribute Rifle.

Have a collection of pointy sticks gathered over many years. 'Bout as close as I'm ever gonna get to a "tribute". Ahem. ;O)
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Somebody needs to send Ingwe a PM and let him know there's a tribute thread going on in his honor. Or we can just let the ol' feller sleep through it.

Ingwe, that rifle is nice and trim and hasn't aged much. You? Not so much.

By the way, I like the barrel band on that. You have that added? What year was that made?

Schnabel Schnabel. Here is mine in (blush) TWO SEVENTY. And no, I don't have a leopard thong. I prefer zebra.

I prefer black thongs - I find them more slimming. Ingwe - your rifle is the gold standard.
