Looking good like the stock shape and also has some good fiddles and grain running thought there!

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.

Yeah, my plastic but plate didn't last long at all.

Well bugger me, there`s plenty of hope for me then with my Sharps in 45-70, 420 gr, 70grs 3f black powder. Just have to wait a week for the smoke to clear to see if I hit anything, , 100mts at the range , don`t think the goats will like it. Cheers, Homebrew.357.
, Ok at the range, but hunting, it`s 12-1/2 lbs,, have made a sling for it.

NO,!! If I did that the yank`s would shoot me. As backup and to stop my arm breaking will be taking my little .3030 bush gun, 'sudden death". takes no prisoners. Homebrew.357.

Can any of you other 9.3x62 users advise me what the drop figures are ( real world from actual use ) for your 286 / 300 grain loads and a 100m zero ?

I though I should use it more often as my mates are well geared up to take any long shots so can handle anything within 300m with the 9.3
Usually have my Leupold MK4 1.5-5 scope on it which has a SPR reticle so there are plenty of options for hold over marks at longer range like the bottom of the large circle and the 10 and 15 mil marks below that.




Its a great we scope and the SPR circle is ideal for just covering an animal evenly and knocking a big hole it.

What's your load/muzzle velocity.
My open sight Mauser with a 286gr doing a leisurely 2200fps has about 23" drop at 200yds from a 100yd zero.

Both 286 Lapua Maga's and 300 Swift A frames @ 2300

I found 10 once fired 9.3X62 Cases at the Range today.
