Jack:
First, welcome to the 'Fire.
Second, I have a Sako Black Bear in .308 and like it a lot. Had a Swaro Z3 mounted using Recknagel QD mounts so I could access the iron sights if needed. Accurate, handy, slick and very well made. Only drawback is the muzzle blast from it's 20" barrel.
The 9.3x62 is an awesome cartridge . I would have bought a Black Bear in 9.3x62 if I didn't already own two other rifles in that same caliber. A friend bought one in 9.3x62 and was well pleased with it. On his first hunt with that rifle he used it to shoot (of all things) a black bear!
I have no opinion on the MRC.
Hope this helps.
