Lemaymiami,
The IMI Timber Wolf is the "kittycats whiskers" IMO. I have had experience with one.
The top of the receiver has a "built in" pic rail for scope mount and space between the rails is relieved so there is a trough under the mounted scope which affords an instant choice between using the scope or iron sights - although I hasten to add that I've never seen any practical advantage to that set up.
The rifle takes down with a single screw (an advantage for "stowing away" when necessary) and the stock is set up so that you can adjust the male part of the connecting tang such that the height of the stock's comb can easily be adjusted for your preference of sights and/or scope height. Thats a really cool feature, IMO.
The rifle is light weight, slick and extremely fast handling. Spent shells are ejected and the rifle reloaded with a mere flick of the wrist. The one I am familiar with cycled literally 100s of rounds - both 357mags and 38 Specials - without any failure or fire, eject, or feed. It was 100% reliable.
My only "complaint" about the rifle is that unlike a lever action, that can be reloaded through the side gate when the action is in battery, the T Wolf must be fully out of battery (action open and fore end completely retracted to the rear) before you can reload through the bottom of the action. There's nothing wrong with this, except I've been a lever action all my life and it took me a second to "think" 'am I fully out of battery?' before reloading.
The rifle was accurate. With iron sights, I was shooting fist sized groups at 150 yards. Quite frankly, I chronographed several loads out of this rifle and was greatly pleased with what I saw, but alas, that was 10 years or more ago and I cannot find those results.
OTOH: the 357 Magnum out of a carbine length barrel is nothing to scoff at. Depending on your sights, you can stretch the range out to 150 yards or even a bit more - IF you have sufficient familiarity with your load in any given rifle. I've seen deer and smaller boar readily taken with that cartridge.
I think its a shame that IMI discontinued the Timber Wolf line. Its been gone many years now and to my minds eye would be a perfect addition to almost anyone's battery in most of the lower 48 states.
