The CZ full stock looks real nice.
Thanks gents!
John your husky is a very nice looking rifle (great wood on it). Funny you should mention the CZ full stock I have just been looking at them, I think it looks a very nice rifle to - Im currently shooting a CZ in 6.5x55 so would make a nice pair.....
The 9.3x62 has been down south for a few weeks never had to shoot an animal twice.
This poor bugger had 3 old bullet wounds maybe 2 weeks or more old.

An easy pick up right on the track from 157 yds.

No stag this year but a good eater.

My daughter shot the hind with her .308.We got her deer to the track and by the time it took me to go and get the truck she had brought mine to the track as well.

Nice John. Great trip by looks of it !!
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.Attachment 10000
4 goats to the 9.3 and 1 to the .308. A family afternoon out.

What a great trip!! thanks for sharing some photos of it as well - it is fantastic to to see its a whole family affair too. well done. (Can't wait to get a 9.3x62)
Sweet trip
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:)
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 :thumbsup:
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 :D
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.

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.
I have no clue but they have the measurements there so you could check yours
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:P
Just in the process of restoring a 12.17 x 44 R, next size up?
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,:cool: 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.
I bought a Boyds stock for my sons Husky 1600, had to be a large ring tho, and then bedded, as the Husky has small ring dimensions. Easy job, only hiccup is that the Boyds stock has a reinforcing pin right about where the trigger is, so that had to be cut out when taking out a small amount of wood around the trigger area for final fitting. Not visible from the outside.
I will look forward to photos and a range report.
Extremely popular in aussie.
I have owned three 9.3x62 love them, current one is a Domoulin
I have a 9.3x 57 and have an order on the way 95 grain projectiles hollow point. Projectiles are factory made and powder loads will start from 1750fps and work up
You sure you got that right, I have never even seen 200gr in 9.3 bore, 95gr, seams wrong,
Been trying for ages to source 235gr Norma pojectials for mine. Picked up a box of lapua 286gr today.
The husky doesn't seam to be too fussy, so far everything in 286gr I have tried (Norma, hornady and lapua) 3-4" group 5 shot group over irons at 100m.:cool:
southernman, the 235 gr come up on trademe sometimes, here in nz
I use the speer 270 grn as a goto pill for general shooting, have 286grn laupa megas along with some woodleighs but for a good strong projecvtile I like the Rhino 286 grn or 320
I had a Husqvarna in the calibre, great rifle as I wonder why I sold it. This calibre is making a real come back I hear with Samber hunters over in Aus.

My 9.3x62
20.5 inch barrel
Leupold FX11 2.5x20
QD rings
That is awesome, Dumoulin is a fantastic rifle builder, i am very jealous!
I had the priveledge of handling a custom .505 Gibbs take-down rifle they had built for one of my uncles clients, the workmanship was second to none, it was featured in an article in Magnum (south african hunting and firearm magazine) a couple of years ago, i'll see if i can find it and post it for you. :D
cheers spud, that would be cool:thumbsup:
well I finally have my 9.3x62... its a Husqvarna 640. I have just put 20 rounds through it. I am loading a 250gr Woodleigh PP SN and at the moment grouping 50mm at 100m with the open sights...
Attachment 22141
I need to check the gun safe, looks just like mine without the scope. Those Woodleigh's will work real well on all NZ game animals. A good recoil pad will help tame the top loads when shooting targets.
Yep Id like to get a recoil pad fitted, more so as that bloody plastic one sure slides around on the shoulder! Has anyone had a play round with casting their own projectiles for these.. or other calibers?
there is a guy selling 260 grn 9.3 casts on trade me
Wouldnt mind one in a Sako Black Bear or Kodiak for a guiding gun on big game. Someday!
My plan was to hand the client the gun, climb a tree and say "there he is shoot him" :thumbsup:
