In Europe 9,3x62 is often used for driven hunt. I own three: one Steyr SBS, one Mauser 98 custom and one KR1 Tracking rifle from Merkel. Not one is over 8 pounds with scope (Leupold 1-4x20)or red dot sight (Aimpoint9000). The Kr1 is used without scope for tracking wild boars, roes and red deers. Weight 3kg with four cartridges, barrel is 18inches. In hunting recoil does'nt matter you can't feel it. At the shooting range can fire 40rounds without too much problem using a Limbsaver shoulder pad.

The 9,3x62 is really effective and efficient!
