From the pics, they look like they have the FWT contour barrel. Is that right or is it just the pictures?

Exactly! Except that's a no. 2 contour barrel, which means the barrel is a bit heavy for a true Ingwe Special...which is why I'm wondering about the Cabela rifle (to get back on topic).

I have handled this one: An Ingwe special You can zoom in on the photos and see the barrel contour does indeed look like the Fwt. It's still not a terribly light rifle, though, with a dense SG stock on it. IIRC it would be between 7.5 & 8 lbs. It's tempting, but I've got too many projects already, including a couple of Mausers to nurture. edit to add - dang I recalled correctly, they list 7 lbs 12 oz for the weight.

It already has an English Red pad, and to do the other mods, plus replace the Cabelas floor plate couldn't cost more that $1K Soooooo, for only your initial investment of $1399, plus another $1000 you could turn a $1399 gun into a $450 gun!

And Ingwe, you're talking economics. But since I haven't sold a rifle in 30 years.... All the stuff you mentioned plus a quarter rib. Too bad a Rigby diopter sight with ghost ring won't fit the bolt like it does a M98. No shadow line cheekpiece on these, though. Might be a deal breaker.

If you want all the "extra's" buy a used 7x57 and spice it up. Yeah, that's a rifle, isn't it. And you can have it for only $5,999 (it's a .308 though). One of the biggest issues I see in crafting something from an existing rifle (say a Cabela special or something like that) is the stock. I'm not sure if something like a Featherweight stock could possibly be reshaped to match the contour of the WRs in the pics. I guess that's a question for a stockmaker. On the other hand, I have a Zastava M98 that could probably be redone with the existing wood and metal. It'd just be the Ingwe add-ons.

I can tolerate a little scope crawling but there is a limit. You will need to know what yours is when picking out the glass. Yep, with the critters you are hunting the time can be much later. Whitetails and a half hour past sunset is the latest here.

A LOP of 13.75 is going to put me right on the glass, no problem. "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots."

As for the gnarly ones; they're mostly nocturnal. That's how they live long enough to get big and gnarly. The "eaters" generally come out during some level of shooting and light...and don't.

I also believe he was tended to by some effeminate European person who steered him towards that decrepit old 7x57. That's the only explanation that makes sense. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
