rusty,
There is a valid reason for the 358, so keep at it till yah find one that suits you. Like you, I too use a 9.3x62. But when the terrain gets steep, I reach for the lighter 358 rifle. I don't own many guns, and have no room for collecting guns, but a short action light weight 358 is a justified expense. It offers 75% the power of the 9.3. In my case a rifle that's almost 2lbs lighter.
