Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles The Ingwe Special

At least we know the bolt handle and trigger wont break off of it . You should go back over to your own thread and shoot some better targets . Don't make excuses about your rickity bench and crappy sand bags either. Just face it, it's a remington

psst. ...
I do still own at least 3 or 4 winchesters. ..
Don't tell anyone tho.

It's a Springfield 1903 .30-06 that's been "sporterized."

Nice old rifle. There is one at our LGS. My father shot one in France about 70 years ago, although the wood and scope setup was probably a bit different.

How does it shoot?

It's about 1-1/4" at @ 100 yds with 220 gr Hornady RN at 2200 fps. A little slow,loaded up some more to try next weekend.

That rifle belonged to a dear friend of mine with exquisite taste and a pocketbook to match. He didn't hunt, but dearly loved classic firearms, so he had them built mostly, and often by Dennis Erhardt here in Montana. He badly wanted me to take one to Africa and use it�it didn't take much convincing. 7x57, of course!

You are a fortunate man. That is a nice rifle.

Another pic�




175 gr. Round Nose solids for varmints�.

I hope you took it off his hands for him. It's a shame to be burdened with something like that.

I am seriously wanting something like that!

Nope! It was a loaner. He had a .404 Jeffries from Mantons in Calcutta he wanted me to take, and an exquisite 9.3x62 from Erhardt.
I took the 7x57 cause his 5 year old grandson had dinged it�..so I wouldn't be the first!
The rifle got lost on the flight home�put it on Air Namib one day and two weeks later it came off of Air Alaska�.I didn't even ask�.

Another pic..

Somebody had fun!

What do you expect something like that would run?

When that rifle was built in 1997 he had just over $7500 in it�.

I keep coming back to these, so $7500 is an absolute bargain!

Also check out rifles by Rigby, H&H, and Purdey�..


For utility guns I particularly like Rigby...

Oh trust me, I have. When Samuel L. Jackson asks, "What's in your wallet?" well, it ain't enough! The best I'll be able to do is have a clone made...sort of like the rifle in the pics. That's classic style.

Frankly, were it up to me, that rifle would have a more "English" cheekpiece and an English red pad, instead of the engraved ( yes�) Neidner steel but it had.
Forend would be shortened to about 8" too�.


Would look a little more like the SMLE I built and took on the same trip�.

Classic Rigby. That's more or less what you see in the Westley Richards rifles I posted. If you take a look at Mauser's website, you'll see the M98 offered with "Rigby" options, including an aperture sight on the bolt. Very cool.

Nice! .303?

My friend bought a Rigby bolt peep to fit the 9.3x62 just so I could use it, as my eyes were getting too old for open irons�.

Yep. Duh�.
