can these be found anyplace still for sale? well yes/no that one I bought off here in the classifieds, along with a Savage 110 LH short action base of all things. I think I paid $20 for it and another $20 for a gunsmith to d/t the two holes 2x56(??) they show up on flea-bay, and of course in the misc boxes at gun shops. I don;t believe they have been a catalogue item for some time (70's??) Good luck!

Look in any Reloader or Rifle magazine in the back area. He has ads there. I don't have one at hand, however.

Idahoguy101, No privey, it was a pre privey society.:) STanimal, What one does with a custom wood stocked rifle to get passed the babying it, is to swish it gently in some thick bush, get some surface dings on it, in other words get over it and go hunting..When you retire form hunting get it refineished and display in the the gun cab! All my custom using guns look pretty rough, but I am stock maker so its no biggie to refinish one, but every one of those nicks and scratches brings back a wonderful memory, so I don't refinish my keepers.:)

Any rebore to a larger caliber requires rechambering as well. In some cases (30-06 to 35 Whelen) only a rethroating is required.

My original posts indicates that I consider the 9.3x62 all the gun one would need for buffalo..I could use it for buffalo for the remainder of my life and be Ok with it I suppose, but its not a 416, 458 Lott or 505..It is a minimum buffalo caliber, and IMO rates right beside the .338 Win....The .338 Win. max load will push a 300 gr. Woodleigh at 2450 FPS and the 9.3x62 with a long throat and magazine loaded max will push a 320 gr. Woodleigh at 2400 FPS, that balances out pretty close IMO...I like both cartridges real well.

I had Al Siegrist in MI rebore/rechamber a .30-06 Ruger 1B to 9.3x62 in a full length 26" barrel profile. Another smith, now retired, mounted it in a stunning, close-barred, Tiger maple stock that came out very dark with light stripes. Its a stunner.
It weighs the same as my other 1Bs with a Leupold 6x aboard but it is a lively rifle to fire in terms of recoil although not punishing. Very accurate too.
Wish I had bought more of that Prvi partisan ammo when it was dirt cheap.

My M98 Husqvarna was, surprisingly, over 9 lbs fully loaded and it's an iron sight only rifle (might even have been 9.5 lbs with 5 rounds in it's deep gullet). If I'd had to guess prior to weighing I would have said it was no more than 8.5 lbs, especially as lively as it was off the bench. I'm not certain how much lighter I'd want it.

Here's a shot of my 9.3X62. It's built on a Brazilian M1908 Oberndorf action and has a 21" barrel that is 0.60" at the muzzle. It weighs 8 lbs empty with Leupold rings and bases and a Leupold VXI 2-7X33 scope. I know this is an old thread, but that rifle is absolutely gorgeous! The stock is finished beautifully. What kind of wood is the forend tip? That elk rack is pretty amazing too.

Truly a great thread. A few suggestions I am keeping in mind for my Savage rebore. Rusty
