Nuthin' pretty. But my always go to rifle for killing. Old azz Redfield 2x7 low profile. Posted this pic elsewhere on forum. But it works for me. Everyone laughs at the bolt handle. Took the useless sporting clay recoil pad that ot came with and replaced with the thinnest decellerator pad we had on the shelf. Got the LOP down to a manageable length. My favorite working rifle. Started out as a Husqvarna 146 in x 57. Co-working and I had a slow day so that evening I went home with a x 62. Pretty is as pretty does (or something like that).

"I wouldn't even attempt a shot that far with a 2.5x scope. Must be all in the eyes I guess. I've shot pop cans with mine at 350, but the scope was on 9x."
Never said a thing about shooting. I heard you the first time. Do many guys know what the sight picture looks like with a 3x at "380 yards"?????????
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

An Alaskan bull moose is a very large target with a lung area like a wash tub. For years I hunted with a receiver [peep] sight and now that I've had cataract surgery, I will be trying the NECG sight on my CZ.'
I don't consider magnification as the primary benefit of a scope. Having the sights and target all in a single focal plane I see as the primary benefit of a scope. At least for big, big game.

I have the 9.3 itch. I checked the Sako and Tikka sites and they offer lefty rifles in this caliber. Their specs list the rifling twists at 14" while my reloading manuals and barrel makers sites use 10"-12" twists. What are your thoughts on proper twist for the 9.3X62?

Did a good bit of research on twist rates before having my M98 rebored. Found 1-9.5 up to 1-16 references. CZ's are 1-9.5 and Husqvarna's 1-16. I went with 1-12. 1-14 would fine.
