My 9.3x62 is a factory CZ 550 barreled action in a fancy Circassion walnut stock by Serengeti. It weighs 8 pounds on the nose with Talley rings and a 4x33 Leupold scope, which means it goes around 8-6 with five rounds of 286-grain loads in the magazine. My handloads get around 2500 with 286's and the recoil doesn't seem at all bad, certainly nothing like a .375.
