Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only How do you have your 9.3x62 set up?

Alright, I'm a sucker for these 9.3 threads. Especially when the OP is asking for pics. Here is mine, right after I got it. It was set up with an older leupold M8 4x. I shot it that way and decided I needed more power (creature of habbit and poor eyesight I guess). This one also has the rear express sights and front fire sight:



I've tried the VX3 1.5-5x20 like some of these guys here and decided I didn't like it either. This was on my old 375 H&H for a little while:


Here are both rifles in the same pic. The 9.3 is shown with the 3-9x40:


I used the 9.3 on a cow elk hunt in 2012 and it worked great:

She didn't stop the 286gr partition either.

This is how the rifle shoots. It was glass bedded by some guy they call BSA:

Oops, forgot to add there are no cherry picked groups here. This is what it was during load development. I settled on the 59gr. charge wt of RL15 for the 286gr. partition:

I've since switched scopes because the old American made Burris had been on 7 confirmed rifles and finally started to go south. It was always my "go to" scope for a new rifle because it always held POI so well. The eyepiece/power adjust ring became loose and the POI started to vary. The new Burris that I installed is basically the same thing (an older American made FFII) and is rock solid. Good enough to shoot this kind of group:

The first 5 shots were well within 1/2", so I figured I'd send another 5 down range. This is something I've been extremely impressed with when dealing with the 9.3x62mm. I am thinking the OP will also be extremely impressed with his 9.3, it's a good one!!!!
