    Yes between us 99 animals shot including the ducks.
    There are 5 deer standing in the snow filled gully just above the front right corner of the truck too far for us as we had all the eaters we needed.Name:  P1000633 (1320 x 742).jpg

    A mate has a 9.3x62 and he loves the 250gr Barnes TS 2550fps works great on big red stags up close out to 350yds

    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    Any bullet out of a 9.3 is going to work on the biggest of red stags. I am about to load some 250gr Accubonds at a tad over 2500fps. Lets face it in todays energy conscious world, shooting animals with 285 gr bullets is such a waste of energy

    I have a Husqvarna mod 1600 9.3x62, a real beauty.Bought it about 4 years ago ,used it on a few deer and hundreds of bunnys. Seems to go ok on the bunnys
    Only issue is im a leftie,and the cheek rest is set up for a rightie,and it knocks hell out of my cheek,I thought about altering the stock a bit and adding a cheek pad OR turning the stock into firewood and getting a new one made. Its currently a target stock,looks huge but is quite light,my 17hm heavy barreled savage weighs a ton more.I can happily tote it around all day.

    Now my question is, does anyone have their 9.3 suppressed ? Mine seems to kill the deer by the noise alone.

    Don't have any pics of it apart from these from when I bought it.

    Thats a beauty OIP, I like the ammo storage in the butt, seams a waste to turn that stock into firewood though.....some one out there must want to swap?
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!

    Very nice, I am pretty sure Boyds do a stock for the Husky, they might even do a left hand/right bolt one, be worth a look!

    Wow, thanks. What is the difference between a small ring and large ring mauser ? unsure what I have. Don't like the nutmeg though. kinda looking at either Applejack or Sky royal blue for an extra $15. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/79c4d7...or-Options.jpg I would really like to personalize this rifle. If someone has a Husqvarna mod 1600,they can have this stock if they like. I will be pulling the ammo storage in the butt out though to put in the new stock.

    Call yourself a Mauser owner and you dont know the difference between small and large ring!!!

    Basically I think its the diameter of the receiver, Mauser 98's are large ring, M96's are small ring. Just to confuse things, your 1600 is a large ring action in all respects except the actual receiver diameter, where is it the size of a small ring... Got it? That's b/c the 1600 is a commercial action...

    What this means is that your action will fit in a Mauser 98 stock but you gotta pack it out a bit round the ring

    The hole centers of the action screws are different between large and small too.

    Picked up a very tidy Husqvarna 1640 today and two boxes Norma ammo, and a box hornady, been looking for a while at a sako, The husky sorta arrived on my door, pretty happy, price was sharp. Grand poorer, but very happy, my gift to me after 6 days OT.
    Surprised how light it is 6.11oz, 7lbs all up with 4 rounds.
    Going to give it a couple sighters tomorrow morn and take it out for a short hunt for whitetail or black bear.
    leaving it as irons for now.
