Ingwe - your rifle is the gold standard. It is a nice rifle, but Eleanor O'Connor's 7x57 is platinum.

OK�you suck!
And you .270 Homos�this is a thread about a rifle chambered for Big Game. The .30-06 barely qualifies�..

By the way, I like the barrel band on that. You have that added? What year was that made? The barrel band, the wrap around front sight, the island rear, one standing one folding�and the matte finish�all add-ons.

.270 = What the hoary old 7x57 Mauser wants to be when it grows up.

There is NO WAY you coulda got over 1500 on your SATs�. The first question on my SAT was which is the greatest hunting cartridge of all time the .270 Winchester or the 7x57 Mauser. I picked the .270 and my test score soared

Jim Corbett killed tigers with his�..
just sayin'�... He used a Wesley Richards .275 Rigby too. Here's what it looks like when it all comes together.

Who did the work? What would you have done differently? Quarter rib? I'm gonna have a Corbett-Ingwe Special built for myself some day!!

I think some type of "safari" mustache is required when shooting any metric cartridge. I don't have a clue who the WR belongs to, but the mustache belongs to Jim Corbett. That picture is with the Rudraprayag man-eating leopard he killed. His Rigby made .275 was a gift from the governor of the province for having killed it. I believe he owned a WR in .275 Rigby before that.
