Well...its ben a couple years or more since I sold my Ingwe Special in 7x57 to Rev Mike here, and he has put it to good use for sure! But theres been no rifle of the ultimate, consummate chambering in the house since.... Walked into the LGS and my bud behind the counter waved a Lipseys Hawkeye African under my nose in .275 Rigby at a screaming deal.... What can I say? ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/vwmJoEG.jpg) I feel like such a gun slut....

I'm enjoying mine! It has shot everything that I've fed it quite well. Hoping to kill a deer with it in a month or so.

Hey, Mr Slut...what scope will you put on it?
That's a really good looking rifle, by the way.

I'm a slut and proud of it. I set aside a rifle I told I would I hunt with forever and didn't even blink to get a lipseys hawkeye african .275 rigby. 10 pigs, 4 deer, 1 coyote and an elk later I can't even remember what caliber my old rifle was.

I suspect that bed time tonight for ingwe will involve the new Rigby, a bottle of Courvoisier, and a leopard print thong.

That provides a mental image that is disturbing. Funny, but disturbing, nonetheless...
