sauer 202 EAW Mounts with vx-6 1-6x20 guy behing the gun gets hurt just slightly less than the recipient of the 250 accubond at the other end
My 12 year old prefers my 9.3x63 vastly over my 308. Though not when target shooting laying down.
Another 9.3x62 member here, the performance of this calibre is great. Complete pass through lengthwise on this young red. @john m is that tikka still there?

There is one also at the Outsoorsman in Rotorua. I think it's new and is on for $1199. I looked hard at it. @mawzer308

@Danny was that wood blue or synthetic? Open sights?
It sold in about 3 weeks. The one at the Outdoorsman may be the same one as it comes with dies, projectiles and cases. If it is, the reason its for sale again so soon is that a special rifle the guy really wanted came up and the 9.3 had to go to finance it.
Synthetic or wood stock?
Took my old 9.3x62 out for an overnight trip. It is scrubby open country so wasn't holding out much hope. Put the stalk on 3 stags, first 2 didn't work. But I got into 93yds of the third. Had to take the shot off my knees, dropped him on the spot. Didn't take any photos unfortunately as I had left my phone back at camp.
Well done Stug
Is this number 2 for the year ?
I might have a lead on a Sako 375 H&H down in Duners just have to find out if the guy stll has it for sale
Harry, if you want a sako 375 I can get you one without you leaving town.
Hi Jakewire I would be keen would be dependant on price and condition.
Wouldn't want to pay silly money.
I'll find out what he wants Harry, drop you a pm in a couple of days.
Well done Stug what bullet were you using and how did it perform?
@Harryg good luck on the hunt for a .375. We might need to organise a big bore goat hunt next time
Nice stug, They certainly drop them don't they! Have had great success with the Hornady 286gr SP-RP projectiles.
I understand from a number of guys overseas that Reloader 17 is the powder that really makes this cartridge boogie. Not far behind its bigger brother the 9.3 x 64 Brenneke.
i have used a 358 norma for about 30 years,similar to yours, good knockdown and ive never wounded an animal
Mate ive used a 35 Whelen pretty extensively over the years on Sambar and Fallow over a GWP and with RN 225 grainers it was a Hammer out to 150m in bush. later used the Whelen on Buffalo up North.. Shes a Capable round. the 9.3 is the Same Same.
the 225s I thin kwas around 55gr 2208
and the 250gr hornadys were low load of 2400fps I thinks, 51gr or somethin.
slow an steady pushed far in
Good to see this post still active
How's everyones 9.3's been going? I've managed to shoot 3 this year with the 9.3, nothing moved from where it was hit. Have developed a new load of 65gr 2209 and 285gr Prvi projectiles. They shoot well on paper haven't chronographed them yet should be in the vicinity of 2300fps.
I haven't had mine out since I shot a stag in April.
I've had the stock off mine, bed and doing stock up
Needs to go back together just haven't done it yet as possibly going to send the barrelled action for a Cerakote, am spending a fair bit of time deciding whether it is worth it or not
This thread should have a mandatory photo attachment for all posts mentioning such rifles
here are a couple of lousy cell phone snaps of the stock with a few coats, has had 4-5 more since then

That looks really good mate
Thats a bloody nice bit of wood Jake
Cheers, chaps, yes, lucked into it really.
110 grain Makarov projectiles can be used in these rifles in 9.3x 57 not sure on 9.3x 62
I had my husky out two nights ago at the range, have fitted a peep sight, and now discovered that i can't get enough adjustment, 4-5" high at 25m, so have ordered a couple new front blade's in different heights now,
forgotten how much of an beast, a 7lb 9.3x62 is off the bags, 16 shots and I had had enough,
some one on Canada Gun nuts has a sako black bear, with 20 rounds threw it, 9.3x62 for sale for $1800, i hope its sold before six weeks in invoices, i just billed get paid.
Nice mate yeah the light huskys with the hard butt plates aren't the nicest off the bench. That's not a bad price on the Black bear, over here they go for around $3500 new. Currently a very nice Sako Grizzly 9.3 on TM at the moment.
