One thing that is often overlooked with the 9.3X62 is how easy it is to get one by simply rebarreling about any 30-06.
I want to make one for myself in the coming year, and I will build the whole rifle from a GEW length M98 Mauser. But I also have 3 friends that want 9.3s and all have said they will just have me swap out their existing barrels on their 2 30-06s and one 270. Fast, easy and fairly inexpensive to do.
I am now "poking" Green Mountain Barrel Co. They told me that if they got a call for 100 of them they would tool up and make them.
So it's probably worth your time to make a phone call to them and tell them you are interested if you want one.
Or just send your '06 to JES Reboring, provided your existing barrel is sufficient O.D., 225 bucks and two weeks and you'll be shooting your new 9.3x62.
