Grizzly? THAT is all you think it good for? Hail FAR boy! That there round has probably dropped more of the African big five than any oth er THREE cartridges you would care to name. Possible, and I do mean possible exception being the 375 H&H, but it is waaaaayyyyy up there.

A 9.3x62 is, to a Dutch, Brit, German or other European descent family in Africa, what a 30/06 is to us, or the 303 to the Canucks. Legal and lethal on all game up to and including Elephant in a couple of countries.

You have a very fine and truly one to do it all rifle there. Not to worry, though, we won't tell your wife..... wink cool


LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
