JS LaCourse,
My 9.3x62 is a double square bridge small ring Brno Mod 21, converted to a 9.3x62 with a 26 inch Lothar Walther barrel. The 26 inch barres is .595 at the muzzle..It weighs 7-3/4 pounds with rings and 1x4 Leupold scope.
It is about as perfect a buffalo rifle as one could own IMO..Light and easy to carry and recoil is very mild. About like one would expect from a cartridge case of that size, ala the 30-06, 35 Whelen, and 338-06..but with a bit more punch..
The 320 gr. Woodleigh at 2400 FPS recoils in that light rifle about like a 350 gr. Woodleigh in a 375 as best I can tell...easy to handle in other words.
I suggested 8.5 to 9 lbs in my first post as I figured thats what my Brno weighed, due the the felt recoil and a guess and by gosh..I have to amend that to 6-3/4 lbs. naked, now as I just weighed my gun, and boy was I off base on that. It's perfect for me.
